David Gordon Green (born 1975 in Little Rock, Arkansas) is an American filmmaker. Green, who was born Eric Doogan, grew up in Texas and attended the North Carolina School of the Arts. He made his directing and screenwriting debut with the highly acclaimed George Washington. Green is known for making honest, visually arresting films, which are usually coming-of-age tales set in small rural towns. He cites Terrence Malick and Robert Altman as influences.
