Biography

D.P. Carlson has been in the Chicago film and video scene since 1990. He has produced and directed many independent shorts and feature length programs, and contributed to various broadcast productions. Most recently Carlson was a cameraman on Bravo Profiles of Billy Bob Thornton & Rod Steiger, the MSNBC Investigates Specials Saving Bella, Real Boys & Behind Nascar, And Turf Riders For The Discovery Channel.

In 2001 he was a producer/director/shooter for the Foxsportsnet original television series Preps: Chicago Hoops (2001), starring Eddy Curry. His independent work includes the feature-length music documentary I Was There When the Blues Was Red Hot (1991) starring Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter and Willie Dixon, and he has created music videos for Word Jazz artist Ken Nordine. Mr. Carlson recently made the critically acclaimed documentary Chicago Filmmakers on the Chicago River (1998), starring Hollywood moviemakers Michael Mann, Andrew Davis, Harold Ramis, Stuart Gordon and John Landis. The doc also features indy filmmakers Haskell Wexler, John McNaughton, Loretta Smith, Tom Palazzolo, Heather McAdams, Jerry Blumenthal and Gordon Quinn, as well as Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel and Mayor Richard M. Daley. His follow up film, Homeless '99 (1999), is an award-winning documentary about a panhandler that premiered at Dockers Classically Independent Film Festival. Later that year, Carlson received the Panavision sponsored Founder's Award given to the Most Promising Midwest Filmmaker.

In 2000 he made the 35mm short Sailorman (2000) starring Chicago acting veterans Mike Nussbaum and Ron Dean. The film premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival. His newest projects include 'The Bears-Out Of Hibernation', a rockumentary featuring innovative guitarist Adrian Belew, and 'Johnny Dodgeball' a feature length pseudo-documentary.
