Writer, Director, Producer
Lori Kelly-Bailey is an award-caliber filmmaker with over 30 years of experience in independent filmmaking as a screenwriter, director, and producer. Her work merges rigorous historical curiosity with bold genre storytelling, earning both festival acclaim and commercial distribution.
She began her career with Mineville, an epic period drama that chronicles the rise and fall of the iron-ore industry in turn-of-the-century upstate New York, featuring standout performances by Paul Sorvino, William Sadler, and Nick Wechsler. Lori followed this with the dark horror-comedy Silent But Deadly, starring Jason Mewes, William Sadler, and Jordan Prentice. After a successful two-year run on Netflix, Silent But Deadly achieved full distribution through Inception Media and Shoreline Entertainment.
In 2018, Lori wrote, directed, and produced Garrow, a chilling examination of the notorious serial killer Robert Francis Garrow and the 1970s manhunt that gripped the Adirondacks. Most recently, she produced A Roadhouse Coup, an independent feature shot entirely in Otsego County that explores the life of Eva Coo, the historical “mallet murderess” and prohibition-era brothel owner.
Lori’s films, like those created by her dedicated film production team, are defined by meticulous research, strong performances, and a commitment to telling provocative stories rooted in American history.
