Sin-Dee (Rodriguez) and Alexandra (Taylor), two trans women who work as prostitutes, spend Christmas Eve walking the streets of downtown LA looking for Sin-Dee's cheating pimp boyfriend. Shot entirely on three iPhones, Baker's film is bombastic, organic, original and vital and the central pair are wildly entertaining.

Fired by zesty performances that crackle and burn with energy, Tangerine is a bittersweet affair underpinned by a winning sense of empathy and affection. Amid the rank artificiality of LA, there is real tenderness and between these characters a camaraderie that takes the harsher edges off their often bleak circumstances. Rodriguez and Taylor are a terrific double act, their on-screen chemistry providing both laugh-out-loud comedy and moving melancholia. Baker brings the same non-judgmental approach that characterised his Independent Spirit awards prize-winner Starlet, while an in-your-face soundtrack pumps up the volume to boisterous effect.
