"Just like making our album, Doug proved that even with many challenges, with the right people with the right tools and some hard work, we can make great shit happen. We are blown away yet again with Doug's directorial vision and perseverance to get the job done! Doug approached us just as our newest album was being released and he put together a plan to create a music video that both showcased the band's musicianship as well as portray the mood and message of the song. He did it all within our budget, timing, and resources available. We are excited to be working with Doug again as we know he can deliver amazing results. Thanks Doug, you the man! It was great working with you again. Metally Cheers!."

"Working with Doug on my video for "Human again" was just as rewarding as recording the song! It was emotional and exciting. Doug was prepared, articulate and more than anything, he understood exactly the 'feel' I was hoping to achieve for this music video. His storyboard and idea's created the ambiance I was hoping for. I had no problems understanding Doug's direction, he was mindful of my personality and played up all my strengths. Doug has a directors eye, and its hard not to fall into this dramatic world he creates without wanting more ... here's to the next video while I can still get a hold of this man! He will soon be in high demand and I feel fortunate to have worked with such a great talent."
Marija Smolcic, Singer/Songwriter
"How refreshing it is to work with Doug. Making art of art's sake. I look forward to working with him in the future, thank You."
Darren Johnson, Singer/Songwriter
"Just wanted to say thank you again for all your amazing hard work and help with everything. The shoot was awesome and we really appreciate everything! It's very humbling to have you all working and giving up your time and effort to this project. Everyone is so talented and professional at what they do, and do it all without one complaint or one hint of bad attitude. I know it must be hard to do and we cannot thank you enough, only hope that it pays off for you all in the end. You and your crew fucking rock bro! For sure we would do another video with you."
Sacha Laskow, Divinity
"A very inspiring and kick ass shoot. Doug is the man, and he has such a passion and drive to his filmmaking, which is probably why he has such an impressive portfolio and most of us just have ideas written down on paper that never get finished. He took this little song we wrote and made something amazing, on a whim, and purely on artistic instinct and fervor. We owe him a lot. Him and the entire crew. Thanks so much guys. Another video for the new album. I'm getting really excited."
Cody Harper, Wade
"You did an amazing job on the "parenthesis" music video - and the crew you put together for the shoot was outstanding. I think I speak for the band when I say that when I walked on-set and saw the brainwashing machine, my jaw dropped, and I knew this was going to be an awesome project. I was so impressed with the professionalism, fun and enthusiasm of the entire weekend - it will be an experience I will never forget. And I am so grateful for all of the volunteer hours that went into this music video - especially the countless hours that you spent putting it all together. Thank you so much. This music video is unlike anything you've seen from us and director Doug Cook, to whom we owe a great deal."
Joel Goundry, Wade
"I put all my faith in what Doug wanted to do with the video, and jumped in and it paid off! we pulled off a very professional looking music video, and really, it is all because of Doug. He had a solid plan and really followed it through. I had lots of doubts, and millions of questions. Doug took them all in stride and followed the video through to completion, and to a much higher standard than I would ever have expected."
