DALLAS JENKINS | The Making of The Chosen (Ep. 385)



In this episode, we welcome Dallas Jenkins to the show. He is a film and television director, writer, and producer, and he is the creator, director, and co-writer of the worldwide phenomenon The Chosen, the TV series about Jesus and the Apostles. The Chosen is the largest crowd-funded film project of all time. In this interview, we discuss what led him to the film industry, his box office bomb that almost ended his film career, where he got the idea for The Chosen, why he decided to do a project about Jesus through episodic seasons as opposed to a movie or miniseries, how he found the actor to play Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), why it was so important for him to cast actors and actresses that reflected the look of the people in the Middle East in the first century, how he deals with the criticism and backlash the show gets from people angry that the series “doesn’t follow the bible close enough”, why it’s important to depict a masculine Jesus, whether we can expect to see Jesus clearing the Temple at some point in the series, what the plan is for the remainder of the series and after it wraps, and much more. Let’s get into it…
