Since his earliest adventures with a clunky three-piece VHS camera, Doug Conant has been passionate about telling cinematic stories.

Conant's short film Broken garnered much attention and praise for its delicate, honest treatment of rape survivors and counselors. It is currently used as a teaching and therapy tool at various crisis centers throughout the United States and abroad. Sleeping, his most recent film, has shined worldwide on the festival circuit, being honored the winner of several "Best" international awards, including Best Film and Best Director at the prestigious EuroShorts Film Festival, and featured on the BET network.

In addition to his Directing credits, Conant has served as Producer, Production Manager, and Assistant Director on several independent productions. He has also worked for Warner Brothers Television, with veteran production executive Rick Allen ("Friends"), where he was involved in the production of the hit series “Supernatural” (starring Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki), “Men in Trees” (starring Anne Heche), and “One Tree Hill” (starring Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush). These invaluable experiences helped develop a strong understanding of film and television production, from development to budgeting and casting to final cut, and provided an extensive network of industry professionals.

Using image and sound to explore humanity and tell unique, engaging stories is Conant’s driving motivation. His work is marked by honest characters, nuanced performances, and a graceful, affecting style of visual storytelling in many genres.
