Dylan Mohan Gray is a Mumbai-based writer and filmmaker.  His projects include the documentary feature "Fire in the Blood", which premiered at Sundance and went on to have the longest theatrical run of any non-fiction film in Indian cinema history. Selected at over 100 international film festivals, winner of numerous awards and the first documentary from India to be released theatrically in both the US and UK, "Fire in the Blood" helped change the global conversation around access to lifesaving medicine. In 2019, it was named one of "26 landmark documentary films of the past seven decades" in The Power of the Documentary, a major retrospective curated by legendary documentarian John Pilger.

Most recently Dylan directed Netflix's first Indian-themed non-fiction original, “The King of Good Times”, opening film of the documentary anthology series Bad Boy Billionaires.  It enjoyed a multiple-week run as the #1 most-watched title across all genres on Netflix India, was the most-watched documentary of the year 2020 in India and won India's top film honour, the Filmfare Award, in 2021.

Dylan's mid-length film on global health advocacy, "From Durban to Tomorrow" (2020), has to date been an official selection at festivals in 34 countries and received 40 awards.

Originally trained as a historian, Dylan has a special interest in stories with linkages to contemporary history and is currently working on a number of projects in this vein.
