In 2008 he produced the VOX Film Festival with partner Participant Media (THE SOLOIST, GOOD NIGHT & GOOD LUCK, SYRIANA, FOOD INC), which gave teenage film-makers the opportunity to have their work screened by Hollywood executives. Jesse has also received a TELLY Award for Christianity Today International’s REDUCING THE RISK (3rd Ed.) which he directed about child sexual abuse in faith communities.
