Dallas Jenkins (Director)
About

Dallas Jenkins, son of renowned Christian novelist Jerry B. Jenkins, initially resisted creating faith-based media. Yet, he felt divinely called to change the perception of Christian films in 2006.

Starting with "Hometown Legend" at 25, Jenkins built his career producing and directing films like "Midnight Clear" and "What If...," garnering modest success. In 2017, "The Resurrection of Gavin Stone" aimed to offer a fresh take on Christian movies but fell short at the box office. Undeterred, Jenkins created a short film, "The Shepherd," which garnered viral attention on Facebook.

This led to Jenkins' groundbreaking project: "The Chosen," a multi-season series about Jesus' life. Supported by VidAngel and crowdfunded by millions, "The Chosen" became the highest-crowdfunded media project ever, defying expectations and resonating with audiences worldwide.

Today, Jenkins' journey reflects a commitment to using his talent to share faith through impactful storytelling, proving that Christian films can resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
