CHRIS WHITE

Novelist, dramatic writer, actor, filmmaker, musician--for a long time, I wished I could stick to one thing! But as I've grown as an artist and human, I've learned to embrace this "diversity of expression." When I was directing my short film, I was grateful for my experience as theatre director, musician and sound recorder, actor, and dramatic writer to give me a sense of the whole. When I became a teacher of creative writing at the university level, I was grateful for my experience creating workshops, producing albums, working with actors. As I drafted and redrafted my novels, I was happy to have experience as a screenwriter to give my stories structure, and playwriting to give my dialogue foundation, and years of making albums to give me perseverance and the ability to work in a small dark room, wishing somebody would bring me take-out.
