BIO
Gregory Bayne is a filmmaker currently in post-production on his latest film, Jens Pulver | DRIVEN, a feature documentary about the legendary mixed martial arts fighter. Bayne made headlines earlier this year when he got that production off the ground by raising $27,210 in just 20 days on Kickstarter.com from over 400 contributors. Since then he has gone on to speak about the subject of crowd-funding at The Conversation, held on the campus of Columbia University in New York, and the Los Angeles Film Festival. Prior to launching his own work, Bayne served as a cinematographer, and editor on several award winning short, feature length and documentary films including b.Dreams, ibid, Out of the Blue, Purple State of Mind, and Trudell; having shown theatrically, at film festivals worldwide (including Sundance, Seattle International, Munich, ImagineNATIVE and SXSW) and broadcast nationally on PBS, ESPN and the Sundance Channel. Bayne’s first feature film, Person of Interest, hailed as “this generation’s Taxi Driver”, is about to head out on a preview screening tour around the country, beginning in Los Angeles this August.
