Douglas is a New York-based filmmaker and film geek from Maryland holding an MFA in Digital Filmmaking from Stony Brook Southampton + Killer Films. Douglas currently teaches filmmaking at Hofstra University and AMDA NY. His feature-length debut is CARRY THE DARKNESS, a coming-of-age supernatural thriller set in 1993 centered around the satanic panic. For Doug, filmmaking is inherently an exercise in empathy; seeking not just to express himself but to engage with the experiences of others. If the modern world where nuance goes to die and cynicism reigns, then film is the most essential and universal artistic medium for fighting back.
