ABOUT JONNY WHITE
BIOGRAPHY
Filmmaker & Dad...to 6 cats.
I am a multi-award-winning filmmaker, director and videographer, based in West Yorkshire, but willing to travel anywhere and everywhere.
My attention centres around creating authentic work that inspires, educates and resonates with audiences.
Working across Documentary and Narrative Film, Music Videos and more, my work has screened internationally across various platforms including BAFTA/BIFA-qualifying festivals, online curation platforms and award shows.
My broad production experience has allowed me to develop a versatility across all areas of production, alongside an ability to work collaboratively with larger crews, or independently as a solo filmmaker.
Passionate about real people and real stories.
