let’s get creative!
WHO AM I?
Over the past 15 years I have had the privilege to direct three feature films. These films have premiered
at the Chinese theatre on Hollywood Blvd and RAindance in London. They have acquired distribution and
been available all around the world, never making a profit. It’s true, most artists will never make
their money back from the work. so why create?
In 2020 I transitioned into TEACHING AND EVERYTHING CHANGED. I AM NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE TECHNOLOGY,
INSTEAD I AM INTERESTED IN ARTISTS TELLING THEIR STORY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARAY. I want tHE
GENERATION BEHIND ME TO SEE beyond the technology andUNDERSTAND the manipulation of media.
Over the past five years I started two programs at indepenDent schools in Los Angeles teaching hundreds of
filmmakers how to make their first films. Now I am HEADED online to SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY.
Just as the many before who HELPED ME, I am HELPING OTHERS. You’ve been talking about CREATING for a long time.
lets get TO WORK!

What Filmmakers are Saying
It would be an understatement to say I wouldn’t be doing film without Mr. White's class. I am very fortunate to attend the fourth-ranked film school in the country, but there has yet to be a class where I’ve learned as much as I did in Mr. White's. The best piece of filmmaking advice I’ve ever gotten was when I was doubting my ability to pull off an ambitious ghost film. Mr. White told me, “It’s a movie, it’s all fake. You can do whatever you want,” and that's something I carry with me into every new project. Mr. White's class was truly eye-opening, not just as a creative but as a person.

Thank you so much for making these videos. As a student of yours, you have inspired me in many ways. You have changed the way I look at art. Something I will never forget is our conversations about AI and the role it's going to play in our future. You have taught me to think more critically. From being AI's #1 hater, I have come to except that AI isn't as scary as we think, which is due to you. This video helped remind me why we create even when it's just for ourselves. When the world around us is moving so quickly, it's sometimes hard to find my place in it, but your channel keeps me motivated. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Keep up the good work!

You Can Write!
Writing your film can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Check out my screenwriting tutorial where I write a short film in real time and show you the final film. It doesn’t have to be perfect to start, it just has to be started. Let’s get writing!
you have enough
Filming can sound tough at first, but with the right resources you can make it happen with less than you might have originally imagined. Filmmaking is inherently collaborative and your resourcefulness will make or break the film.
Just Start
The hardest step in any stage of filmmaking is to just get started. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to begin. Check out my weekly Vlog series where I take you behind the scenes of self-distribution, and more!
