Life and career

Filmmaker Sylvain White was born and raised in Paris, France.

At 18 he attended the university of La Sorbonne then earned a scholarship to go to film school in Los Angeles. After graduating with honors in both film production and media studies, a series of award-winning short films led him to direct a spectrum of music videos and commercials in the US, Europe and Japan.

He debuted his smash feature film, Stomp the Yard, at number one in the US for Sony. He went on to direct the explosive Warner Bros. action comedy The Losers, starring Chris Evans, Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana.
