Although we may be filmmakers by trade, we are storytellers by nature. Venture into our world and let us weave a tale for you. We will tell you about life and love and fear and pain. We will show you laughter and tears, the devil and God. The story is the lifeblood of our world and nothing matters more.
…So lean close, and let us tell you a story.

At Whitestone, we not only believe in telling great stories, but we also believe in living them. With Halloween just around the corner, my good friends over at Cause and Effect have been putting together the second annual “Hallow’s Eve Diversion”. The story goes something like this.
One night a year, everyone is expecting a knock on their door. What if, instead of getting candy for ourselves, we did something for someone else. We are collecting cans for our local coop, in one night dealing with hunger in our area for many weeks.
We would like you to join us as we try and become part of a bigger story. A story about others. If you live in the Atlanta area, you can sign up and visit the Hallow’s Eve site here.
If you’re not local to Atlanta, let us encourage you to think bigger than yourself. Maybe you have an opportunity to start something similar, or find someone who is doing something great and join in.
And maybe, we can all be silly enough to believe we can change the world.

We are proud to announce that we have officially begun pre-production on our newest film, “That’s Magic!”. Due out this December, That’s Magic! is a story of a magician who has become disillusioned with his craft and no longer believes in the idea of magic.
What we’re most excited about is the format that we’re pursing with the film. Our team is hard at work creating original musical pieces for the film, and we are looking to films like Mary Poppins and Nightmare Before Christmas for inspiration on the ‘musical singing’ format within the story. We believe this to be a throw back to the Disney films of old, with our own Whitestone twist on it.
We look forward to bringing this film to you very soon, and we’ll be posting pre-production updates as always so you can keep informed and up to date on the production. Check back often for updates, and get ready for That’s Magic!
