J. Christian Jensen is a filmmaker with a professional emphasis in documentary producing and editing. He has worked on both fiction and non-fiction films in a variety of capacities including, production sound, electric, camera, writing, editing, directing and producing. His relative versatility comes from having worked on everything from large, nationally distributed projects (National Geographic Television, PBS Frontline) to smaller niche projects for regional PBS, public exhibit, and the Latin American market. Christian’s past projects have frequently been character-based or taken on ethnographic qualities and include a series of vignettes about Bahian artists in Brazil, a documentary about the last living leprosy exiles in Hawaii, an exposé on Mormonism, and an off-the-beaten-path series about U.S. National Parks. He has a particular interest in producing films that bridge social divides and appeal to both international and domestic audiences. Currently, he works as a freelance editor and continues to independently develop documentary features and television series. Original Air Dates:

Just finished watching the documentary. Thought it was fantastic and wanted to share it but can't find it anywhere on the internet. Where can I point people to it?
Sorry Mageewe! It was supposed to be streaming on our byutv.org page (just search for "first look" there) from day one but the tech guys are having some challenges. You *can* still watch it live there tho. Should be up and running soon. We'll announce it on our facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/First-Look/119476228096225?ref=ts
thanks!
(I mention being able to watch it live because it will re-air on BYUTV and byutv.org at 12pm and 6pm MST wednesday July 28). If you want to watch it again after that, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the director Christian Jensen.
Mageewe,
I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed "Sou da Bahia". If you or your friends are unable to watch one of the re-broadcasts of the film on Wed, July 28, let me know and perhaps I can get you a copy of the longer, more complete version of the film.
-Christian
Director, "Sou da Bahia"
