Chris White
Chris White is an award-winning filmmaker who has spent over a decade writing, directing, and producing a variety of feature length and short films. His most recent project is the music-centric, coming of age comedy Electric Jesus, which explores the world of a fictional 80's Christian hair metal band called 316. The band's journey from playing Bible camp talent shows to head-banging rock venues is an amusing look at youth culture during the time when heavy metal music was bathed in controversy. The film stars Brian Baumgartner (The Office), Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire), and newcomers Shannon Hutchinson (Assassinaut) and Andrew Eakle (Creepshow, The Glorias).

In addition to writing and directing Electric Jesus, White also co-wrote original songs for the film, collaborating with composer/indie rock legend Daniel Smith. The raucous soundtrack 'Electric Jesus: Music From and Inspired By The Motion Picture' is scheduled for worldwide release by Joyful Noise Recordings early 2021.

Electric Jesus won White the Best Director award at the 2020 Orlando Film Festival where it was also selected as Best Picture. The film screened at over a dozen festivals in 2020, winning Best Narrative Feature at both the Fayetteville Film Festival and the Rome (Georgia) International Film Festival.

White's other films include Southern Gothic comedy anthology Unbecoming (2016), indie-film farce Cinema Purgatorio (2014), and family dramedies Get Better (2012) and Taken In (2011). Additionally, he has written, directed, and produced for the multi-award winning web series phenomenon, Star Trek Continues.

White graduated from Furman University with a B.A.in Drama and currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina. He is married to executive producer/producer/screenwriter Emily Reach White.
