James White is in his twenties and struggling to cope with the stresses that life keeps throwing at him. His mother Gail is seriously ill, and while he's happy to be there for her, he is desperate for some time away from New York to re-evaluate his life. Unfortunately, his vacation just turns into a whirlwind of self-destruction; indulging in more drugs, drink and generally less than honorable behaviour than ever before. He insists that his return will bring some real changes in his life, he might even get a job, but it's clear to his family and the people who he meets along the way that he's got a long way to go before he can take adulthood by the horns and learn some responsibility. He needs the love of his mother right now, but he's too terrified at the thought that she might leave him any day.
'James White' is an intense drama about life and death, family ties, and of course love, and how it takes a lot of determination and self-control to get through it. It has been directed and written by Josh Mond in his full-length film debut and won awards at Sundance where it made its premiere, as well as Deauville Film Festiva and Locarno International. It is due to hit theaters on November 13th 2015.
