A Gentle Giant Searching for Surprising Stories
The Latest…
September 2025: Douglas’ feature film debut will screen at the prestigious UK FrightFest, the ABQ Film and Music Experience, and Horror Hound Festival in Cincinnati!
Shot on 35mm celluloid, this tense game of cat-and-mouse with a mystical twist is inspired by The Town That Dreaded Sundown, The Strangers, and No Country For Old Men.
August 2025: Douglas appeared as George in the world premiere of Judith, Deliver Us created by and starring Hannah Gregory, blending classical western tropes with biblical apocrypha and Appalachian folk music.
Critic Shawn Maus wrote: The ensemble is a dream team of Cincinnati theater talent, breathing life into Gregory’s heartfelt, emotionally charged script... the score blossoms with dynamic contrasts and lush Appalachian harmonies.
