For me, it all started with a question from the director, “Do you want to go to Rome to film Jesus meeting the Pope?”
Over the course of a year we travelled to Rome, Paris, London, New York, LA, Washington DC, Dallas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver, Boston, Salt Lake City — all during Covid. We followed Jonathan in-between seasons 2 & 3 of The Chosen series and leading up to and during the film Jesus Revolution.
