While working on his doctorate he was also a visiting student at Goethe-Institute in Munich (summer 2007), American School of Classical Studies-Athens (summer 2008), and American Academy in Rome (summer 2009).

In July 2012, Doleac founded Historia Films, an independent production company. Between 2011 and 2014, he had small starring roles in several films such as Storm War See Girl Run and Mighty Fine. He has had guest appearances in several TV series, including: Treme, Breakout Kings, and Sleepy Hollow. Doleac directed a 30-second commercial for a Hattiesburg dog park's entry into PetSafe's Bark for Your Park contest in 2014, which won $25,000 for the building of a dog park in Doleac's hometown of Hattiesburg, MS. The commercial featured Hattiesburg's own Brett Favre.
The Historian (2014) was the first feature-length film from Historia Films. It first premiered May 20 New York City's SoHo International Film Festival. It was also featured in the Los Angeles's Dances With Films 17. On July 11, the film had the honor of opening the Long Island International Film Expo in Bellmore, New York. On October 20, it was featured at the Gulfport Sun and Sand Film Festival. It opened theatrically in limited release in New York, Los Angeles, and Doleac's home state of Mississippi, where it was shown in Hattiesburg and D'Iberville starting on November 7.
The Historian garnered mixed receptions from the few critics that reviewed it. Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times stated, "Despite low production values, The Historian [...] sustains curiosity over what [...] is a long running time." Serena Donadoni of The Village Voice derides Doleac as "a filmmaker [who] can't reconcile all his story lines." The film's central performance by William Sadler (actor) did receive near universal acclaim, with Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter writing, "Veteran actor William Sadler delivers a superb performance in this thoughtful if overly soapy drama set in the world of academia."
