Jonathan Baker's fascination with captivating storytelling and larger-than-life figures has been a constant source of inspiration, with Ernest Hemingway being a particular influence on his writing, producing, directing, and adventurous pursuits. His educational background in film, first at his native New York City and later at the University of Southern California, laid the foundation for his successful career in the entertainment industry.
As a writer, director, and producer, Jonathan Baker has worked on a diverse range of projects, including the Warner Bros. documentary "Through Scavullo's Eyes," which offered a unique glimpse into the life and work of controversial fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo. He has also been involved in the production of "Dorf on Golf," a sports-themed comedy starring Tim Conway, and "Dirty Tennis," a comedy that aired on HBO and Cinemax and won several awards, including the VSDA and the New York Film Festival Award for Best Comedy Video of the Year.
In addition to his work in the entertainment industry, Jonathan Baker is also a successful entrepreneur who has founded Baker Entertainment Group, a multimedia development and production company based in Hollywood. This company has enabled him to pursue his passion for storytelling and to develop innovative projects in a variety of formats.
Before focusing on Baker Entertainment Group, Jonathan Baker grew a start-up venture, SkinSpa, into the leading full-service day spa in the United States. He sold this brand in 2011, but remains active in the personal care field and has developed a new signature brand, Jonathan Baker EST 1962, which introduces a range of pure aromatherapy products. He is also set to launch a men's casual clothing line in the near future.
