It reads: 'Jeff left us too soon but despite his woefully too-short life, he left us with treasured memories of a gifted filmmaker, as well as a very special person on so many different levels. 'Jeff was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He attended Killian High School in Kendall, Florida. He graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 1999. Upon graduation, Jeff relocated to Los Angeles to pursue writing and directing movies. He began as a production assistant for Robert Zemeckis.
Aubrey Plaza was shown support from Hollywood at Sunday's Golden Globes Awards, which took place just days after the tragic death of her husband Jeff Baena. 'He then became an assistant editor for writer-director David O. Russell, with whom he collaborated on I Heart Huckabees, and uncredited revisions to Meet the Fockers. Beginning in 2004, Jeff routinely received credit for writing and directing the films with which he was associated; however, on occasion he collaborated with others.
