"Every time we release content about the show, people ask where they can watch it. So, this time, if people watch our official full-length trailer and get excited, they don't need to wait. Episode one is free, and if they want to purchase all four episodes in advance of their release on VidAngel in November, they can," said Dallas Jenkins, Director of
The Chosen.

The Chosen, which was ultimately seen by more 20 million people.
Directed by Dallas Jenkins, "The Chosen" has raised over $10 million in crowdfunding from over 16,000 investors, unseating "Mystery Science Theater 3000" as the #1 crowdfunded film or TV project in history. Audiences having been raving about the credits, which are 8-minutes long and list the investors who have backed the project.
