Rachel Whittle Filmmaker of The Purge and NCIS New Orleans

Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Meda Giant" Haley and
Sherrie Clark of The Storehouse Media Group interview Rachel
Whittle. Rachel Guidry Whittle is known for The Purge, The Thing
about Pam, NCIS New Orleans, and Girls Trip. She was born and
raised in the heart of Cajun country, Lafayette, Louisiana. And
while she entered the industry later than some, she formed a love
for storytelling early in life. Growing up, Rachel's father would
teach her through telling stories rather than just making
statements. This was when she learned first-hand the power
stories have to teach lessons, provide escapes, and form
connections. Years later, these gifts that storytelling offers to
the world would pull her into the entertainment industry. Ever
versatile, she loves working behind the camera just as much as in
front and firmly believes in helping wherever needed when on set.
Because of this, Rachel has expanded her knowledge of the various
roles on set and now does work as a filmmaker, such as directing
and producing. Some of her favorite adventures in the filmmaking
arena have come from a comedy sketch filmmakers' troupe she is a
part of called A Dangerous Flock. Rachel's love lies in authentic
storytelling, whether in front of the camera or behind it. She
says it best, "My favorite thing about filmmaking is that it
requires collaboration. No one can do any of this on their own.
It takes a beautiful mesh of minds to make it work."
