Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Doug’s photography and his recording of Laguna as it transitioned over 50 years, in the theater that has just been returned to a new version of its former self. Doug and cinematographer, producer and directorJason Blalock will introduce the film and comment, and a representative of Rivian will point out highlights of their restoration efforts.
Photographer Doug Miller, ever-present at Laguna Beach events, has documented the days of our lives since arriving here in 1970, taking over 500,000 photographs, all accompanied by meticulously recorded identifications. A Sawdust exhibitor, he has painted over 20,000 canvases. A talented violinist with the “Moon Police,” he plays where inspired, always appreciated.
Cinematographer Jason Blalock produced this documentary featuring Doug and his work. In total it presents “a profound portrait of Laguna Beach and its people,” according to critics. Jason Blalock works as a cinematographer on a variety of documentary projects, for CNN, Discovery, HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Time, and Vice. He grew up on El Bosque in Laguna Beach, and now lives in Oakland, CA. He states appreciatively, “The opportunity to share Doug Miller’s art is an honor.”
