Dylan Mohan Gray

Dylan is a globally-acclaimed Indian and Canadian filmmaker. His documentary feature film Fire in the Blood premiered in competition at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and went on to enjoy the longest theatrical run of any non-fiction film in Indian cinema history (five weeks). An official selection at over 100 leading film festivals on six continents, honoured with major awards and accolades worldwide, Fire in the Blood changed the global conversation around access to essential medicine and, in November 2018, was included by legendary Australian journalist and documentary filmmaker John Pilger among his selection of "26 landmark documentary films of the past seven decades". Of Dylan's filmmaking, critics have said "Dylan Mohan Gray has made cinematic provocation something of a signature" (The Dallas Morning News) and that "Gray's images are exquisite and unsparing... artful in nearly every frame, perhaps so we don't avert our eyes" (The Village Voice & LA Weekly). Earlier in his career Dylan served in key creative roles on feature films in over two dozen countries worldwide, working in close collaboration with renowned directors including Fatih Akin, Peter Greenaway, Paul Greengrass, Deepa Mehta, and Mira Nair. He has been profiled by numerous leading media outlets, including the BBC, The Guardian, The Times of India, Filmmaker Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal. Dylan's film From Durban to Tomorrow (2019) was selected as part of the 2020 Mumbai International Film Festival. Shot in five countries on three continents, the film focuses on the future of global health and human rights, while his narrative feature script, The Last Day of Winter (co-written with Vikramaditya Motwane), was incubated at the Sundance Institute / Mumbai Mantra Screenwriting Lab. In 2017 he was appointed Visiting Professor of History (exploring intersections between history and film) at the Central European University in Budapest, where he had earlier completed his MA, and in 2016 was chosen from over 13,000 graduates for the CEU's inaugural Alumni Impact Award. Dylan most recently directed the premiere episode for the critically-acclaimed Netflix anthology series Bad Boy Billionaires, focusing on Vijay Mallya. Dylan is currently developing several feature film and series concepts.
