As a producer, White has worked on a range of critically acclaimed projects, including the mini-series The World Wars and the Making of the Mob, which aired on AMC, as well as multiple films, including Impact Earth and Here Comes Rusty.
As a member of the Director's Guild of America, White has had the privilege of working alongside and learning from some of the industry's most talented and experienced professionals.
His work on major studio movies, such as Escape Plan, 2 Guns, and American Ultra, has honed his skills in directing and producing high-quality films with high production values, regardless of budget.
Additionally, White has worked on a number of art-directed projects, including Ghost Shark and Arachnaquake for the Sy Fy Channel, further refining his abilities to adapt to any production environment.
