Jason White

Jason White holds a Master of Arts degree in English and will be pursing his doctoral work in 20th Century American Literature in 2013. For his final project in his Masters program he wrote a full-length play which he is currently converting into his first feature script for production(as of summer 2012). The tentative shoot date for the feature is spring 2013. He, along with best friend and fellow filmmaker Ryan McDonald as well as a few other filmmakers, founded the not for profit organization The New Ogden Cinema. The corporation promotes film-making and the education of film-making through the production of cinema. New Ogden Cinema has currently produced or assisted with production on several features and over a dozen short films. Jason is also head writer on the web-series Proper Manors and is in charge of writing the bulk of the first two seasons as well as making sure that each episode is as professional as possible while maintaining the overall story arches and character consistency. Season one is currently written and the plot for season 2 is already penned out and ready for production. Directors with a strong sense of story-telling visually and narratively, as well as dramatists and theater directors who have delved into film, have been a huge influence on his writing and directing style. His mother is deaf and before he could talk, he could use sign language to communicate. He is also an avid music fan and even plays the guitar.
