Douglas Burgdorff is a multifaceted artist working as a photographer, cinematographer, writer, and director. Raised across New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire, his passion for film and photography began very early, and quickly became his driving force. During high school, he began making a prolific amount of shorts on every format available to him. At Emerson College in Boston, he began making feature films. He continues to create films and photography, with his work appearing in international festivals, screenings, features, and magazines. His film work has taken him all over the world, from Rwanda, Mexico, Morocco, Australia, Canada, and Sri Lanka. In the summer of 2025, he will have his first solo show, Knife Points, in Pescara, Italy.
“If there was ever a good reason for Vimeo to install a ‘love that filmmaker and everything they’ll ever do’ button, Doug Burgdorff is it. Often not safe for work and perplexing, his prolific film output is also beautifully crafted and highly addictive.”
