In this episode, an in-depth conversation with acclaimed documentary filmmaker Doug Pray, whose work over the past three decades has captured the raw spirit of several American subcultures.

Doug’s films — including Hype!, Scratch, Surfwise, Art & Copy, Levitated Mass, and Love, Lizzo — have explored everything from the explosion of Seattle’s grunge scene to the pioneers of hip-hop DJ culture, the power of advertising, and the artists and outsiders who redefine what’s possible. His documentaries are celebrated for their empathy, energy, and authentic connection to the people and movements they portray.

Doug reflects on his filmmaking journey, the stories behind his most iconic works, and how he finds truth and emotion through documentary storytelling. We discuss his process — from gaining trust with subjects to finding meaning in the edit room — and how decades of filmmaking have shaped his perspective on creativity and collaboration.

Whether you’re a filmmaker, music fan, or creative of any kind, this episode is an inspiring look into the craft of storytelling from one of the best in the field.
