Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker; Co-Owner of Loki Films; Academy Award Nominee & Emmy Winner
Rachel Grady Biography
Rachel Grady is an American documentary filmmaker and co-owner of Loki Films, a Brooklyn-based production company she co-founded with her creative partner, Heidi Ewing. Loki Films specializes in both short and feature-length documentaries, as well as television and commercial projects. The company’s name references the Norse god of mischief and is also a play on the words “low key,” reflecting the founders’ high-energy approach to filmmaking.
Before launching Loki Films, Grady worked as an associate producer in the documentary field, developing her skills in nonfiction storytelling. Grady and Ewing are recognized for their focus on exploring complex and often controversial topics in American society, maintaining an approach that allows the subjects of their films to guide the narrative rather than advocating a specific viewpoint.
Grady’s filmography includes "Jesus Camp" (Academy Award nominee), "The Boys of Baraka" (Emmy nominee), "12th & Delaware" (Peabody Award winner), "DETROPIA" (Emmy winner), "Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You" (Sundance Film Festival), "One of Us" (Toronto International Film Festival), and the Showtime docuseries "Love Fraud," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Her debut feature, "The Boys of Baraka," earned an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Independent Film. "Jesus Camp" received a wide theatrical release by Magnolia Pictures and was broadcast in more than 40 countries.
In "One of Us," Grady and Ewing examine elements of Brooklyn’s Hasidic Jewish community, with the film debuting on Netflix and earning critical recognition, including a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Their approach to documentary filmmaking is driven by curiosity and an interest in the nuances of human experience.
Grady’s work includes "Endangered," produced by Loki Films and Ronan Farrow, which follows four journalists confronting violence and misinformation in their pursuit of reporting the truth. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival before airing on HBO. Throughout her career, Loki Films has addressed a wide range of subjects, including Scientology, the criminally insane, Saudi Arabian teenagers, the dissident movement in Cuba, and the rebuilding of New Orleans, with projects featured on networks such as CBS, HBO, A&E, PBS, VH1, Al Jazeera, MTV, CNN, and Canal Plus.
Grady and Ewing have been recognized in Time Magazine for their contributions to documentary filmmaking. Grady is a member of the Directors Guild and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Her work continues to contribute to the fields of documentary film, journalism, and media, offering insight into storytelling and the impact of nonfiction cinema.
