He directed, produced and co-wrote the narrative feature film Absent Father, about "a typical teenage girl who gets impregnated by God, only to find He never seems to be around when she needs Him."

From 2001 to 2003, he served as programming director for KCET, the flagship PBS station in Los Angeles, reaching the second largest public television market in the United States.

Doug has also contributed to numerous documentaries as a writer, producer and/or unit director, including the recent films "Latinos '08," "The Jewish People: A Story of Survival," and "Jerusalem: Center of the World," all broadcast nationally on PBS. He has acted as an advisor on many more.
