Doug Lenox was born on a mattress in his mom's living room in Aptos, California. Since then, he has survived four major relocations, three college transfers, two natural disasters, and one adolescence. Along the way, Doug received a B.A. in American Studies from UC-Berkeley, an M.F.A. in Film Production from NYU, and a license to drive a motor vehicle from the State of Louisiana

Doug's films are greatly inspired by the events detailed in the previous sentences, but also by incidents he has deliberately excluded, and things he may have forgotten. To date, his work has screened at over 40 film festivals in 7 countries.

Currently, Doug is developing his first feature film, rarely exercising, and is learning how to cut his own hair, with mixed results.
