Director & Choreographer

Rianne White is a Scottish lass who built a career as a film director over the last decade. She grew up in Edinburgh and studied choreography at Falmouth University, where she taught herself filmmaking through the lens of physicality, and how the body and movement enable a transformative perspective into cinema. This unique approach led her to pursue passion projects and develop a deep love for directing, choreographing and editing music videos. Her portfolio includes work with artists such as Ellie Goulding, Young Fathers, Aurora, Lola Young, Kae Tempest, Franz Ferdinand, Black Country, New Road and The Proclaimers, and her films have been showcased at festivals around the world,  During this time, she also choreographed for the TV series Outlander and the short film Nevada by Ruth Paxton, which was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society alongside her own practice. 

Empowered by Scotland's vibrant energy, Rianne has collaborated on impactful projects, including the nationwide campaign United to Prevent Suicide and the commissioned short film "Sugar For Your Tea" with Kayus Bankole, as part of Underbelly’s "Message From The Skies." Her work consistently explores themes of the ever-evolving resilience within identity and the need for connection with our people, our planet and our inner worlds. She has expanded her creative horizons by working with Hugo Boss on global fashion campaigns, including HUGO x Bella Poarch and HUGO x F1.

These ventures mark a new chapter in her career as she expands across music, movement and longer-form projects.
