Haley Celeste Baldwin

Haley works in the industry as an independent producer and script consultant in San Francisco, CA. Her latest short film (in)convenience has garnered international acclaim and continues to be used for educational conversation in corporate settings across the country. Her passion for the producer role stems from her love of narrative storytelling, and her pride in ensuring inclusive, safe, harmonious and efficient sets. Haley focuses her producer’s lens on projects that uplift and center dimensional queer characters, comedy, folk-horror, music driven projects, and films that unearth radical pleasure, feminine power, and magic as a pathway for deeper empathy with oneself and one’s community.

Haley works on films with a goal to epitomize creativity, synchronicity, and intelligent execution with an emphasis on creating depth and maximizing the impact of the story.

Haley got her start in film in 2013 at the Idyllwild Arts Academy where she was awarded the Idyllwild Screenwriters Guild Award. There she learned the phrase “Film has to be the candy of your life for you to do it. You have to go to bed and wake up thinking about the story”.
