When a Door Opens, Take It, Walk Through it, or Someone Else Will - Ise White

Ise White is a New York based director and writer. She grew up traveling around the world with a suitcase filled with books and martial arts weapons. She had a specialty in swords and daggers and was trained in her family’s indigenous martial art, which isn’t the most orthodox path to adulthood, but it defined her love of action and all things adrenaline especially in the form of rock climbing, snowboarding, and dirt bikes.

After working for the FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, and being featured in IT Vanity Fair, Ise White became one of the top luxury fashion editors in the world working for Condé Nast Italy and then Hearst China, developing beauty, celebrity, and cinema projects with a focus on narrative storytelling and winning awards for celebrity cover projects partnered with major studios.

She has directed Robert De Niro, Robert Redford, Jeremy Renner, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ewan McGregor, Serena Williams, Rhianna, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Kit Harrington, four US Presidential families, Jake Gyllenhaal, Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Selma Hayek, and many more.

She continues to focus her commercial work in the luxury sector, while her TV and film work firmly explores action and drama.
