Directing
Birthday: 1995-09-21
I grew up in the small town of Grass Valley. My friends and I would spend our time skateboarding and exploring all of the surrounding areas. My love of filmmaking ignited as soon as I got a hold of my mom's 480p digital camera. From that point on, it was making skate video after skate video. As the years passed, I found myself gravitating toward grander projects. Skate videos no longer provided the same level of creative freedom and personal fulfillment I was searching for. I went to Biola University and graduated in Fall 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Film Production. From 2017 to 2021, I dedicated myself to writing/directing my first feature film, Space Waves, on practically no budget. The reason I stuck with the massive undertaking was simple: I believed wholeheartedly in the story I was telling. I wrote the movie I wanted to see within the parameters of the story I needed to tell. My approach has always been challenging myself to transform pain into purpose and demonstrate that through the medium of film. Facing personal trauma and finding ways to redeem pain is the way I can help others see the light. This is what my life's work is all about. -Spencer Whiteout
