Joel Jenkins

 

Joel Jenkins is a storyteller. He enjoys using his imagination to help people laugh, inspire learning, and look beyond their everyday lives. As a producer and writer, Joel created What’s Your Story, Kid?, an in-school residency that nurtures children’s storytelling skills through filmmaking. This successful program has entertained and educated many students. Parents have noted the improvement they’ve seen in their children’s self-esteem as the students learn to focus their creativity into producing a video presentation. 

 

Joel has worked with numerous clients including Lucasfilm and The White House. He studied Producing Children’s Television at the Maine Workshops and has taught at UMKC and the Kansas City Art Institute.
