Bio
Public Bio
I'm a documentary filmmaker (shocking, I know) living in New York City. I'm told I look like Steven Spielberg but I prefer Buster Keaton.
My doc credits as director include: 51 Birch Street , Home Page and The Heck With Hollywood! My doc producing and/or camera credits include: Silverlake Life, Jupiter's Wife, A Perfect Candidate, Love and Diane, Paternal Instinct, American Harmony, A Walk Into The Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory and a few others.
I'm currently (as of March, 2009) directing a follow-up of sorts to 51 Birch Street called Almost Gone , as well as producing Amy Hardie's documentary feature, My Year of Living Dangerous (working title).
I began a hard to pronounce blog in February, 2005 called Around the Block: Doug Block's Doc Blog where I post with amazing inconsistency.
To support my documentary habit I also make verite style wedding videos
In my spare time, I diddle around as co-host of The D-Word Community. In my sparer time, I'm husband of Marjorie, father of Lucy (19), and human slave to Feathers, a very needy cockateil.
