He also edited the music video for Hank May’s “Morgana.” In addition to his commercial projects, Doug edited the feature film Portal to Hell, which premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival and is set for a limited theatrical release this summer. His narrative work includes short films such as Ascension, I’m Not Okay, and A Little Love Story.
