In 2004 and 2005, Jenkins Entertainment completed two short films: "Cliché" (in which every line, scene, and character is a movie cliché), and "Midnight Clear" (based on Jerry's short story), both of which Jerry executive produced and Dallas directed.
They recently produced and Dallas directed their latest feature, "Midnight Clear", based on the short, now available on DVD from Lionsgate and distributed worldwide by Cinemavault.
In 2003, Jerry B. Jenkins was listed by Entertainment Weekly as the 42nd most powerful person in entertainment (talent list), the second year in a row he has received that honor. He has written over 150 books, including several that have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. His Left Behind series has sold over 65 million copies, and his recent novel, John's Story, hit the top 25 on the NY Times list.
Another of his novels, "Youngest Hero," is currently being developed by Angel Ark Productions (Jason Alexander) as a potential feature, and the Hallmark Channel recently aired the highly rated Hallmark original film based on his book "Though None Go With Me," a film that has just been released to DVD. Jenkins Entertainment is also developing another Jenkins novel, a Christmas romance entitled "Twas the Night Before," with a script written by Janet Scott & Lee Batchler (Batman Forever).

Dallas Jenkins produced the $2 million independent "Hometown Legend" at the age of 25 and supervised every aspect of the production, from the completion of the script to the distribution. Dallas made his directing debut with the short film "Cliché," which "FilmThreat.com" called "Fast and funny...ingenious," and his latest short film, "Midnight Clear", starring Stephen Baldwin, won a Crystal Heart Award from the Heartland Film Festival and was the opening night selection of the San Diego Film Festival.
In 2006, he was the Co-Executive Producer of "Though None Go With Me," a movie based on his father's book that aired on The Hallmark Channel.
