 White is known for his stylized, often experimental use of images, and first-person narratives told from the perspective of the estranged individual.He frequently uses allegory and black humor to depict the human experience, exploring topics of love, obsession, alienation and dreams.He describes his own work as “images that reside on the brink of dreams, or linger on the periphery of distorted memories.” He has made three films based on the work of Peabody Award-winning radio personality and writer Joe Frank ("Dirt", "Soulmate", and "Magda").
