About me

Being a filmmaker has been Barker White's passion since he was a child selling stories on the beach to tourists. He studied and played football at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, doubled majoring in Film/Broadcasting and Philosophy. While there he worked as unaccredited editor with his mentor, French Director, Dr. Jean Bodon on the film E=mc3, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival. This experience solidified his desire to direct feature-length films. Barker's directorial debut was the award-winning documentary, Beyond Pollution, which has shown at over a dozen festivals worldwide and was included in an Oscar showcase about the BP Gulf Oil Spill in 2010. He produced the critically acclaimed mini-series The World Wars, which aired in 2014 on History Channel, as well as two films A Hit for a Hit & Impact Earth. He has been First Assistant Director on eight features including two Lions Gate Entertainment films-technical action movies shot in a matter of weeks. Barker has worked closely with Dean Cain, Burt Reynolds, and John Savage. As a member of the Director's Guild of America, Barker has worked with and learned from A-List talent and experienced directors. His work on major studio movies includes Escape Plan, 2 Guns, and American Ultra, as well as art directing Ghost Shark and Arachnaquake for the Sy Fy Channel. Working with these major productions sharpened his skills to direct and produce quality films with high production values within any budget.
