Writer & Director
Cullen Douglas holds the distinction of being the first recipient of the Humanitas Prize’s “New Voices Fellowship,” created to discover, develop and launch talented writers under the mentorship of Hollywood showrunners and studio partners. Under the Humanitas banner, Cullen developed a one- hour drama pilot with guidance from Humanitas’ Executive Director Emeritus, Cathleen Young, as well as uber-producer Shonda Rhimes. His 2022 feature film Billy Flanigan: The Happiest Man on Earth has been lauded by critics and audiences alike as the feel-good doc of the year. Cullen also wrote and directed the narrative short films, Fading Scars, set against 9/11, and Portrait of a Woman at Dawn, a #MeToo-inspired story set in 1920’s Paris, starring Scottie Thompson. The film screened at over 50 international festivals and took top prizes in all categories, including Best Short Film and Best Director. He also co-wrote the feature Letters to God, starring Bailey Madison, and has served as a script consultant and doctor on a number of projects. He’s currently in development on a narrative feature to be directed by Bridgerton’s EP, Tom Verica. Based on a true story, the film looks at gun violence through the eyes of those left behind.

Fan-favorite appearances include roles on True Blood, Prison Break, Deadwood, Twin Peaks: The Return, Grey's Anatomy, and Steven Spielberg's anthology series Amazing Stories for AppleTV+.
