Mark Duplass
Founder & Creative Director
I’m Co-Founder & Engagement Director @ DBP Donut based in Los Angeles & NYC.
DBP Donut is The Duplass Brothers creative shop creating entertainment-led content for brands and platforms bringing an indie sensibility to new audiences.
Welcome to my project portfolio featuring things I’ve led, things I’ve said and other highlights.
I have a few professional passions but my number one is audiences. What makes them tick, what works and what’s the hook that makes people want to watch. It’s an art, a science and pub argument at the same time.
I’m a devotee of what Netflix CEO Reed Hastings calls “Informed intuition.” It works.
I was educated at Middlesex University, London (BA Social Policy) & Goldsmiths, University of London (MA Creative Writing) and started my career at the BBC.
LinkedIn does a great job of chronicling the rest.
Thanks!
