Matt White sees people without placing judgment or a filter. Deeply aware of the complexities and inequities of the American South, Matt is in love with it and it’s people. He gets in his car, puts on the most brilliant playlist of artists who wandered the same highways that he does, and points his lens to the world. Fearless in his curiosity, there is no greater explorer that Matt White. He seeks light, soul, truth, and the words people write about the truths and pains of being human.

He is the friend everyone should have. Relentless in his gratitude and love. That restless love is part of the reason he has been able to dedicate so much of his life to preserving the art and soul of The White Water Tavern.
