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 and the Making of the Mob, which aired on
AMC, as well as multiple films including Impact Earth & Here Comes Rusty.
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.
