Hollywood is in shock after Indie producer Jeff Baena was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Friday morning.

The 47-year-old filmmaker reportedly took his own life.

According to TMZ, an assistant to Jeff Baena discovered him dead.

TMZ reported:

Filmmaker Jeff Baena — best known for directing films like “Life After Beth” and “The Little Hours,” and the husband of Aubrey Plaza, has died … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … police and fire responded to a Los Angeles-area home Friday around 10:30 AM for a death investigation … after an assistant discovered him dead.

After getting his film degree at New York University, Jeff moved to LA to launch his movie career, initially landing lower-level jobs with famous directors such as Robert Zemeckis and David O. Russell.

It was his work with Russell that put him on the map … the two collaborated on four screenplays — including “I Heart Huckabees,” starring Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin.
