“If you spent half as much time on your school work as you do on that television show, you’d be all right.”

What People Are Saying
“Doug’s storytelling style is genuinely compelling. The way he unfolds a tale is riveting, and the gentle humor infused in the telling is easily the best part of the package. Seeing events through Doug’s eyes is a pleasure, and his ability to convey the awe, confusion, pride, or glee of a moment makes them almost tangible.”
Glenn Campbell, Visual Effects Supervisor
“The amazing thing about Doug Drexler is that he takes you on a journey with him… There are story tellers and then there is Doug who whips you up, and makes you fall in love again and again… So for me, for my ape brain as Doug might say… that gift really is truly magical”
Phillip Ingraham, Innocent Bystander
“To truly understand Doug Drexler, you have to go beyond the obvious. Sure, he’s a talented illustrator and graphic designer. But the key to Doug is his eyes. Look at them closely and you’ll discover a Merlin the Magician looniness lurking beneath the surface. I’m convinced Doug knows secrets of the universe that the rest of us can’t even imagine. He’s also a big Sinatra fan, so you know the guy has taste.”

“Like the Hawkeye Pierce of science fiction television, Doug was nearly always the instigator of some madcap shenanigans, propelling us through the impossible pressures and rushing deadlines. This film will share stories of some of that craziness.”

What People Are Saying
“Doug’s skill and hard work made him a major part of the graphic world of Star Trek. Working with Herman Zimmerman, he designed the Starship Enterprise NX-01, thereby earning himself a place alongside Matt Jefferies in the rarifies stratosphere of Star Trek artists, as one of the very few who created a spaceship called Enterprise.”
Michael Okuda - Scenic Art Supervisor, Star Trek
“What makes Doug a great human being is his sheer enthusiasm. There is nothing that dude won’t care about. A hydrogen bomb of energy, and I mean that in the nicest possible way, Doug was unleashed on the unsuspecting STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE Art Department by Mike Okuda and Herman Zimmerman (who really should have warned us).”
Ricardo Delgado - Senior Illustrator, Start Trek: Deep Space Nine
“People like Doug were there because they loved it. Doug had jacked out of a career in makeup for which he had won an Oscar. Who does that?”

What People Are Saying
“You did it big, Doug. You know, the one thing about you that inspires me is that in everything you touch, you give fucking 150%. I’ve never really seen anyone like you. I’m not just saying that. I’m not just kissing your ass. You fucking give it your soul, and you’re exactly where you are because of that. You willed yourself there.”
John Caglione - Academy and Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist - Partner
“I love silly, as does Doug. We could be dining at a restaurant, and at any given moment, Doug and I would start singing West Side Story’s Officer Krupke, or he would do his chimpanzee imitation. Dougie, or Duggels as I refer to him, will get me laughing more quickly than anyone.”
BarBara Luna, Star of Broadway Stage and Hollywood Screen. Marlena Moreau, the Captain’s Woman
