Director Biography - Doug Duke, Styles Wolff Baker

Doug Duke Bio:
Doug Comes from a land in the mid-west near Cleveland, Ohio. Valley City, Ohio to be exact. Ever since he was a little kid watching Looney Tunes, his coveted Donald Duck & The Bee VHS Tape, The Three Stooges and Back to the Future (to name a few), he wanted to be as goofy as he possibly could.
By 2003 he moved out to Los Angeles and attended the New York Film Academy. He's been writing, directing and acting in his projects ever since. His short film 'LENNY'S LAUNDRY' won the audience award at The BizarroLand Film Festival (Formally the Sick n' Wrong Film Festival.)
Doug now resides in Pasadena, California with his extraordinary wife Kelsey and their two kitties Buster & Keaton.

Styles Wolff Baker Bio:
Styles Wolff Baker is a San Fernando Valley filmmaker and graduate of California State University, Northridge in Cinema and Television Arts. For nearly 20 years, Styles has directed, edited, and produced experimental films, music videos, and short films which have been presented at venues such as the Echo Curio, the Getty Center, several sweat drenched nightclubs, and most recently, as a selection in July 2022’s Silver Lake Shorts festival at El Cid. Styles’ work includes the 2015 short film, Shatter Wander, and music videos for artists such as Empty Mind, The Josh Boyd 3, Jagged Baptist Club, Funky D, Dream Phases, Riley Geare, and Pluralone.

Doug's Statement:
Anything I create, I do because of the ridiculous absurdity I see around me in this world. Sometimes its funny, a lot of the times it's not.
During 2020, we all went through so much personally and emotionally. Some of us got used to just staying at home and not seeing anyone. A lot of us were just hanging out with friends & family on video calls and probably drinking together on these calls too!
One thing for sure, there seemed to be a lot of pettiness flying around over these video calls. Maybe it was the security of being behind a screen?
The world is literally burning down around us, people are dying from a virus, others are out there fighting for human rights and then some of us were just at home screaming at each other over FaceTime about the movie 'UNHINGED'.
So how could I not write about that? I didn't even want to make one of these 'pandemic' movies but you write what you know and boy did I have a good time reminiscing about all of this.

I make films to mirror us as a society, as individuals and also to have fun being as insane, weird and funny as possible. I hope that some of you share these same observations and thoughts, but most importantly I hope you have a good time, laugh and think about how ridiculous this all can be and why it's like this.

Styles' Statement:
In a world where the series Black Mirror no longer seems like satire, human connection is more important than ever... but was it ever even possible? Were the cracks already showing? What attracted me to Doug’s script was not just that it was hilarious, but that it probes the question of how we treat our fellow human beings, specifically when exacerbated by the ongoing global pandemic. As Doug says in the film, “I’m really sorry, guys! We don’t know how to act in front of human beings anymore!” Please Come Over examines the tenuous push/pull dynamic of friendship and pettiness in human interpersonal relationships.
