He directed theatre in Scotland and taught for a year and then returned to London in 1990 to continue work in film as a documentary producer and director with projects such as the award winning trilogy WHAT HAPPENS NEXT – LIVING THROUGH CHILDHOOD CANCER and MOTHER TERESA – LOVE IN ACTION.

Joe Jenckes
Born in Washington, D.C., Jenckes studied at the College of Wooster where he graduated with a BA in Art History and a Minor in French studies. In the summer of 2003, Jenckes partnered with former Universal Executive, Barry Isaacson (“Field of Dreams,” “12 Monkeys,” “Liar Liar”). As Director of Development, Jenckes developed a slate of original feature films for Isaacson’s Autumn Pictures. He was subsequently brought into Space Program, housed on the Universal Studios lot, in the spring of 2004, to grow the production company’s feature business.
As Space Program’s Executive Vice President of Television and Feature Production, Jenckes coordinated, developed and managed the production of commercial, television and feature projects. He worked with diverse talent such as Oscar winning DP/Director Janusz Kaminski, Oscar winning writer William Goldman and Pulitzer Prize writer/personality Studs Terkel. He forged international production and distribution partnerships while living and working in England, Iceland, Germany, France and Australia. He was responsible for the creation and development of two episodes for the Discovery Channel’s “The Bone Detective” shot in remote areas of Iceland.
At the end of 2009, Jenckes created Bow Street Films with UK producer David Dickson. They then produced the $5 million feature “Flutter” starring Joe Anderson (“The Crazies”) Luke Evans (“Clash of the Titans”) and Max Brown (“The Tudors”). The film was shot on location in Newcastle, UK and is scheduled for worldwide release next Spring through Sony Picture Classics.
Most recently Jenckes produced the feature Margin Call starring Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, Paul Bettany, Zachary Quinto and Penn Badgely. Margin Call premiered at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals and will be distributed by Lionsgate and Roadside attractions this Fall.
