[ The Director ] J. Anthony Jenkins

J. Anthony Jenkins is a screenwriter, film director, and producer built on one belief: the truest stories are the ones people actually live.

Chicago raised him. Dallas sharpened him. His feature The Studio launched his name, its sequel is on the way, and from Chasing Destyni to Our Money his camera keeps doing the same thing: finding the emotional truth, then rolling.

Founder and CEO of Colossal Visions. Published novelist. Recognized speaker. Same instinct in every room: find what's real, make you feel it.
