About

“It has long been a dream of mine to be a part of an independent film company that competes on the highest level of film production. This dream, and my passion for photostorytelling, led to the creation of White Horse Entertainment, an unique company focused on the production of engaging films of many genres for the mass-market, outside the traditional “Hollywood” setting. It is my desire to bring artists together with the singular goal of reaching a new level of filmmaking for the independent world.”
