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.
My current film, a follow-up of sorts to 51 Birch Street called The Kids Grow Up , is doing the festival rounds and will be theatrically released in the fall of 2010. I'm also producing Amy Hardie's documentary feature, The Edge of Dreaming, which will air on POV in August, 2010.
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 (20), and human slave to Feathers, a very needy cockateil.
