In 1994, at age 25, Gray made his first feature film "Little Odessa", a dark film about a hit man confronted by his younger brother upon returning to his hometown, "Little Odessa," a section of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. The film won the Silver Lion at the 1994 Venice Film Festival.
In 2000, Miramax released his second film, "The Yards", a film noir written and shot in 1998. His third film, "We Own the Night", starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg, played in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2007, receiving widely divergent reviews from international critics. "We Own the Night" was released theatrically in the US on October 12, 2007.
