Alan White Documentary Enters New Development Phase with UK Partner Indy Studios

New UK development partnership marks a major next step for the Alan White documentary, with the project moving toward a UK-led production path.

One Take LLC has officially entered into a development partnership with UK-based Indy Studios on the feature documentary in development about the life, legacy, and music of legendary drummer Alan White.

The partnership marks a significant new chapter for the film, which has grown from the foundation of the 2022 Alan White tribute concert at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre and years of work around archival gathering, interviews, and story development. With Indy Studios now on board, the documentary moves into a focused new phase as the team works toward a UK-led production model and a broader international strategy for the film.

The documentary is intended as more than a music film. It will trace Alan White’s remarkable journey from post-war County Durham to the global stage through his work with John Lennon, George Harrison, and YES, while also exploring the steadiness, humility, and humanity that made him such a singular figure in music history.

“This is a meaningful step forward for the film,” said Michael McMorrow, Producer and Executive Producer. “Alan’s story has always deserved a thoughtful, ambitious, and properly structured path forward. Bringing Indy Studios into the fold gives us the right creative and strategic partnership in the UK as we shape the next chapter.”

Gigi White, Executive Producer, added: “We’ve been very intentional about finding the right people to help carry this story forward. There’s a real sense of alignment here, both creatively and personally, and that matters.”

The partnership strengthens the documentary’s UK ties at a crucial moment in its development, with an eye toward editorial shaping, production planning, funding strategy, and long-term positioning within the UK and international documentary landscape.

“As a production company with a long history in documentary and factual-entertainment, this is exactly the kind of story we feel compelled to tell,” said Pete Campion, Co-Founder of Indy Studios. “We share deep connections to Alan’s Homeland in North East England, so it is a real honour to be involved in a project celebrating one of the region’s most remarkable cultural figures. Alan’s story is not only about musical excellence; it is about humility, determination, and positivity. We believe those qualities have never been more relevant, and we are proud to help share his legacy with audiences, old and new, around the world.”

Further updates on the documentary will be announced in the coming months.
