Emmy-nominated filmmaker Dominic H. White specializes in quirky, bingeable, captivating storytelling. Enthusiasm for the unique and commercial nature of his writing is evident in judge’s remarks: “[It] is an endlessly, ridiculously entertaining pilot that evinces the work of a clever and clearly talented writer,” comments a Page International judge.
Raised in the Pacific Northwest, with a stint in the South, a detour to New York, and finally, to sunny Los Angeles, Dominic writes from the perspective of the diverse world we live in. His willingness to listen and retool based on critiques of his work has resulted in top-shelf results, as is evidenced by judge’s feedback at top tier competitions:
“I absolutely love this concept. The idea is so unique and fresh. I don’t get material with this level of originality every day.” (BREACH OF CONFIDENCE - Page International)
“A fresh and fast-paced script that’s made all the more compelling because of the non-stop recklessness of a charming character at the center.” (UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES - Austin Film Festival)
“Overall, this is an excellent pilot with an intriguing concept and a tightly written, action-packed plot. It’s extremely well structured, and I was drawn into the world immediately.” (NEXUS - Austin Film Festival)
“The Quest for Blattopia is such a fun animation film with colorful characters and plenty of adventure and imagination. The themes are strong in terms of diversity and Kai is a lovable protagonist who's pairing with Indio makes for an endearing relationship as the heart of the story.” (THE QUEST FOR BLATTOPIA – Screencraft)
“There’s solid potential for a series of this type, especially when it has been executed as effectively as we see here.” (TRADECRAFT - Page International)
