- A year in the life of the White family, well known for Jesco White, the star of the "Dancing Outlaw" documentary.
- The Both of Me unfolds like a eulogy - memorializing a way of life, a trade and the Appalachian communities whose death came at the hands of the coal industry. Told largely through Chuck Nelson, a third-generation miner who toiled underground for more than 20 years, it lays bare how the industry leaves behind scarred land and bereft people.
- This documentary short, produced for West Virginia public TV's "Different Drummer" series, introduces us to Jesco White, a hard-living, tap-dancing Boone County resident whose repeated run-ins with the law have interfered with his dream of becoming as renowned a "mountain dancer" as his late father, D. Ray White. We meet Jesco's three distinct personalities; the gentle and loving Jesse, the violent and dangerous Jesco, and the extremely strange Elvis. We also encounter various members of Jesco's family, all nearly as eccentric as Jesco himself. You will ask, "Are these people for real?" Yes, they are.
