"We're bringing our loaves and fish, thousands of ordinary people are bringing theirs, and together we'll watch Jesus feed the 5,000. I've seen every Jesus movie ever made, and one issue I often had was a lack of depth in the characters. A multi-season show allows us to explore these people so that their encounters with Jesus are even more impactful," said Dallas Jenkins, Director of "The Chosen." "We believe if the audience can see Jesus through the eyes of those who actually met Him, they can be impacted in the same way."

Directed by Dallas Jenkins, "The Chosen" has raised [over $11 million] in crowdfunding from 16,024 investors, unseating "Mystery Science Theater 3000", which raised $5.7 million, as the #1 crowdfunded film or TV project in history. In late 2017, The Chosen Productions, partnering with distributor VidAngel, released a concept pilot in social media to gauge potential public interest in "The Chosen." The pilot has been viewed over 15 million times in 10 languages around the world, and investors have rallied to produce, market, and distribute the first four episodes of the series, which will be released Easter 2019.
