Bio

Jesse Oxford is a Chicago-based freelance Creative Director with skills in filmmaking, design, and live event production.

In his nearly 8 years as Creative Director of Willow Creek Community Church’s high school ministry, Jesse produced over 400 live events, working with nationally known speakers and musical acts.  His eye for design informs each project he is involved in, whether on screen, stage, fashion or in print.  Jesse has traveled extensively, including multiple international shoots in Africa and Southeast Asia filming for humanitarian organizations. When he’s back in the United States, he loves the challenge of projects like filming DurhamCares’ RACE ACROSS AMERICA – a 7 day non-stop bicycle race from San Diego (California) to Annapolis (Maryland).

Jesse has worked on projects with the Lausanne Congress, the ONE Campaign, Zondervan, the Global Leadership Summit, Christianity Today, Delirious?,  Charlie Hall Band, and Nuru International.  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.
