Garrett Bradley is an American artist, educator, and Oscar-nominated filmmaker. Bradley’s work spans narrative, documentary, and experimental modes of filmmaking to address themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, and sociopolitical histories within the United States.

Bradley’s short documentary film Alone (2018), was the first of an ongoing series which focused on American incarceration from a distinctly Black southern, feminist perspective. In 2020, she presented her debut documentary feature length film, Time, which earned her an Oscar Nomination and a 2020 Peabody Award. Bradley's debut feature earned her the Best Director Award in the US Documentary Competition category at the Sundance Film Festival, making her the first Black woman in the history of the festival to win the award.

Bradley is cofounder of Creative Council, an artist-led afterschool program aimed at developing strong college portfolios and applications for students attending public high schools in New Orleans. Creative Council is supported by the New Orleans Video Access Center.

Bradley received her BA in Religion from Smith College and her MFA from UCLA School of Theatre, Film, and Television. Her publication, Devotion, is the first in a series of research-led publications on artists by MIT Press and Lisson Gallery. Bradley lives and works in New Orleans.
