Elizabeth Gray Bayne
An award-winning filmmaker, Elizabeth founded her production company graybayne film/media to address health and social issues affecting marginalized communities, especially women and girls. She earned her MPH from Yale University and MFA from the Art Center College of Design. She is a grant recipient of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Glassbreaker Films and the Center for Cultural Innovation.
As a scientist turned storyteller, she combines public health and community outreach to create digital content and films with meaningful and measurable social impact. Elizabeth has ten plus years of production experience with a portfolio that includes more than 400 online videos, 15 documentary and narrative shorts, 5 PSA campaigns and her first feature documentary “Chocolate Milk,” which screened in 11 film festivals and won two awards for Best Feature Documentary.
Her skills and experience include writing, directing, development, production, strategic communication, as well as consultation and teaching in social impact producing. With a community-based approach to storytelling, she works directly with interest holders and organizations to shed light on important health and social issues.
She is currently developing scripted content for film and television, consulting on grant writing and social impact filmmaking, and training youth on how to use film to communicate important issues in their own communities.
