James Bayless is the founder of Didactic, an umbrella holding company comprising several subsidiaries: DarkLight Edutainment, a mission-based, multi-platform media company dedicated to creating evocative feature films, television and live sporting events about topics that polarize society across the demographic divide; and Evolv Pickleball, a non-profit designed to bring pickleball to underserved and underrepresented communities in major metropolitan cities across the United States.
A lifelong storyteller, Bayless majored in Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno before ultimately receiving his B.A. in Media Studies from the University of San Francisco. He went on to play professional basketball for 15 years before transitioning into his true passion: creating media made for and by Black people and people of color with a pluralistic approach. His first feature film, The Cynic, is currently in pre-production and is in a competitive option process with multiple major studios.
A native of Las Vegas, Bayless currently resides in New York City.
