Magento 2.3.3 – Blank White Screen on Frontend (All Pages)

I am getting a white screen returned for all front end pages on Magento 2.3.3. I am using a third party theme (Sahara Fashion 3), which I have extended from. The theme itself was loaded properly before this white screen started occurring after I added one less file (style.less) in web/css/.

In system.log, I got the following:

[2020-03-17 15:31:51] main.CRITICAL: Warning: file_put_contents(pub/static/frontend/extended_theme/base/en_US/css/style.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in vendor/wikimedia/less.php/lessc.inc.php on line 177 [] []
[2020-03-17 16:00:44] main.CRITICAL: Warning: file_put_contents(pub/static/frontend/extended_theme/base/en_US/css/style.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in vendor/wikimedia/less.php/lessc.inc.php on line 177 [] []

I got around that by removing a function call from the phtml file that seemed to be redundant. In case not, this is what I commented: $block->renderFileLessToCss();.

Still receiving a white screen with no errors. I can see the HTML being rendered in the element inspector yet I have a blank page.

I have reset permissions, resolved all error and critical items in system.log, flushed the caches, removed the static content manually, force deployed static content, switched to production and back to developer, but no changes at all. Still just a white screen.

What did I miss?
