Acclaim As A Young Director
At the International Documentary Film Festival at Amsterdam, Jenks was widely acclaimed as one of the next great American filmmakers.
In a review for Jenks' first film, The New York Post said "It's almost impossible to believe that a kid could produce a documentary like this. It's a gorgeous, hilarious, sad, wonderful, unblinking look at the joy of life - even at the end of it...Bravo Andrew Jenks. Brilliant."
At the Phoenix Film Festival in 2006 Jenks said of his documentary celebrity, "When you have characters like Bill and Tammy it's hard for your first film not to be a hit. I am lucky."
