There are moments in this business where you watch people you care about push through every brick wall in front of them to make something real. James McDougall, Derek Barnes, James Mark and Joel Labelle did exactly that with WHITE OUT. No studio safety net. No guaranteed spotlight. Just pure grit and a film that deserves way more eyeballs on it.
As filmmakers, we all know how tough it is to get our work out into the world. That’s exactly why I wanted to do my part to help shine a little more light on this one. I reached out to Will Jordan (The Critical Drinker), who I’m currently working with on bringing his bestselling Ryan Drake book series to film and TV. Will is known for calling it straight, even when it stings. So the fact he not only watched WHITE OUT but gave it a strong, thoughtful review says everything about the quality of the film.
Here’s that review, fresh out of the oven:

Indie film only survives when we support each other. These guys put their hearts, wallets, and futures on the line to pull this off. I’m proud to stand behind them, and excited for everyone who discovers this movie for the very first time.
Watch it. Share it. Talk about it. Let’s help WHITE OUT get the attention it has earned.
Thank you

Anne & Derek’s wedding was more than a celebration—it was a journey of love, laughter, and pure joy. 🤘💍 From their spontaneous dance-offs to the quiet moments in between, every second was a reflection of their beautiful bond. Capturing their love felt like magic, and I’m beyond grateful to have been part of their incredible day. Here’s to a love that rocks and lasts forever. 🖤✨
