Doree is an award-winning director and producer whose films primarily explore social impact topics, from addiction and mental health to President Obama's first campaign trail.

​

Her short documentary In Her Shoes: India (2017) follows a sex worker’s daughter on a journey of empowerment and won the 2020 Webby Award for Diversity & Inclusion. She co-directed the feature documentary 99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film (2013), which premiered at Sundance. Her short documentaries have screened at Tribeca and Cannes, and she has produced feature and short documentaries for Marvel and ESPN.

 

She is currently directing and producing Gentle by Birth, a deeply personal feature documentary about her brother's fatal overdose and the stigma of drug use. She is also producing the feature documentary Everything I Own, directed by Andrew Garbus (editor of Gentle by Birth). Both films are in post-production.

​

In her early 20s, Doree traveled the world—backpacking solo, bathing elephants, climbing mountains, and doing a lot of yoga. These days, she channels that energy into metcon workouts and the occasional family adventure. Beyond filmmaking, she is a committed advocate for harm reduction and recovery. She served as a board member at Prevention Point Pittsburgh and is on the steering committee for Pittsburgh’s Recovery Walk.

​

Doree is currently the Head of Matador Studios at Matador Network, an award-winning global travel media brand. She oversees a full-time team of 20+ producers, creatives, filmmakers, editors, and support staff, along with dozens of regular freelancers. At any given time, her teams are filming around the world—from Puerto Rico to Saudi Arabia to Texas and beyond. In addition to producing original content, Matador also distributes and hosts work across its website and social platforms.

​

An NYU alum, she lives in Pittsburgh, PA, with her husband, daughter, and three very opinionated cats.
