Faith-Based Film: Dallas Jenkins Knows The Danger Of Exceeding Expectations
Faith-Based Film Director Dallas Jenkins shares his ups, his downs and his all-arounds as a filmmaker with an uncommon openness of what he’s getting right and what he’s gotten wrong.
Dallas Jenkins has learned the hard way what it means to exceed expectations. Sometimes it’s a good thing, sometimes it’s not. And, sometimes it can bring a multi-year project to a screeching halt. Not only does Dallas take us on the deep-dive into that screeching halt, he also talks candidly about how he got the next project off of the ground, a task that was only possible after he picked himself up first. Then we turn to the Fishbowl and the conversation continues forward with the same positive energy but in more bite-sized chunks.

Faith-Based Film: Sonja Piper Dosti Heard The Best Pitch At Age 8
Sonja Piper Dosti found her faith at 8 years old and never turned her back on it, even through a long and successful career in filmmaking. How does that work? Listen and find out!
Sonja didn’t grow up a Christian; she discovered her faith at 8 when a stranger introduced her to The Bible. She’s held that faith close through her life, even as she moved through a career in film. We talk about the gap between the quiet austerity of religion and how that squares with a career in the film industry, which isn’t exactly known for its quiet austerity. We also take a swim in The Fishbowl and answer some humdingers from that arena. And, of course, empathy!
