Public Bio

I'm a documentary filmmaker (shocking, I know) living in New York City. I'm told I look like Stephen 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 and a bunch of others.

I'm currently (as of Jan, 2008) producing Esther Robinson's A Walk Into The Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory which won top doc prizes at the 2007 Berlin and Tribeca film festivals, and is currently in theatrical release in the U.S. I'm also in production on two new documentaries and developing a third with HBO.

I began a hard to pronounce blog in February, 2005, called Around the Block: Doug Block's Doc Blog

To support my vast documentary income, 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 (18), and human slave to Feathers, a very needy cockatiel.
