Ellie Gravitte is an award winning filmmaker based in New York City. She works as a freelance director and editor in both narrative and commercial spaces, and frequently seeks out projects that center music. She was the winner of the first ever ABC Women’s Initiative, where a commercial concept she pitched was selected for production at ABC Entertainment Marketing. Gravitte was later awarded a national marketing award for her direction of that commercial in support of ABC’s A MILLION LITTLE THINGS. A web series she directed called WAY DOWN was the sole series selected to screen at Newfest in 2022. Her dance film, A PLACE FOR US, features six performers from Spielberg’s WEST SIDE STORY and has garnered acclaim at festivals across the globe, earning its world premiere at Lincoln Center’s Dance on Camera Festival in the spring of 2023. She has been a finalist for the Sundance Lab Development Track and the Newfest New Voices Filmmaker Grant. In 2020 she co-founded The Actors Playground, a monthly workshop where actors and directors gather for a day of scene work in midtown Manhattan. She is passionate about centering stories of love and survival in her work, and holds strongly to the belief that artists will be the ones who save the world.

Gravitte is currently in development on her first feature and is repped at UNTITLED.
