Dallas Jenkins Biography
Dallas Jenkins is a film and television director, writer, and producer whose career spans more than two decades. Jenkins produced the independent feature "Hometown Legend" at age 25, securing distribution through Warner Brothers, and has directed and produced more than a dozen feature and short films for companies including Universal, Lionsgate, Pureflix, Hallmark Channel, and Amazon. He made his directing debut with the short film "Cliché," followed by "Midnight Clear," starring Stephen Baldwin, which received a Crystal Heart Award from the Heartland Film Festival. The son of Left Behind author Jerry B. Jenkins, Jenkins grew up immersed in faith-driven storytelling, a foundation that has shaped his body of work in Christian film and television.
Jenkins's career trajectory shifted after the release of his film "The Resurrection of Gavin Stone," which did not meet box office expectations. This experience prompted Jenkins to focus on creating quality Christian films, leading to the short film "The Shepherd" for his church's Christmas Eve service. This project became the foundation for his most recognized work.
Jenkins is best known as the creator, director, co-writer, and executive producer of "The Chosen," the first multi-season series about the life of Jesus of Nazareth. When its first season aired, "The Chosen" became the most successful crowdfunded television series or film project in history. Jenkins aimed to present the story of Jesus from the perspective of those who knew him, making the characters accessible to contemporary audiences. The series has reached more than 110 million viewers across 175 countries and has contributed to growing interest in faith-based and faith-infused content in mainstream media.
Jenkins also co-wrote and directed Lionsgate's "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," which achieved critical and box office success, surpassing $20 million in domestic and worldwide revenue. His flagship series "The Chosen" expanded with a fifth season in theaters and on Prime, as well as the animated spin-off "The Chosen Adventures." Jenkins has also developed new projects for Amazon, including "Joseph of Egypt."
Jenkins has been recognized by The Hollywood Reporter among the "50 Most Powerful TV Producers" and by Variety500 as one of the most influential leaders in media and entertainment. Jenkins is noted for his role in the independent filmmaking movement that is redefining faith-based entertainment. He frequently shares his experiences on creativity, perseverance, and purpose-driven storytelling with audiences worldwide.
