Chad Gundersen, Producer of The Chosen

Published: July 6, 2021, 6 p.m.

Chad is truly the salt of the earth.\xa0 I don\u2019t say that only because he has salt and pepper hair.\xa0 He is truly one of the most genuine and kind guys I have met working in film.\xa0 And he happens to be the main producer of the Chosen, which has now reached over 200 million views on their app alone.\xa0 It\u2019s been a wild, wild ride and he has been on the forefront, helping keep the ship afloat.\xa0 We joked that if anything was going to happen, it would always happen on that show.\xa0 From freak storms to freezing temperatures, to managing thousands and thousands of extras all wearing period pieces, The Chosen has had its fair share of challenges.\xa0 And Chad has been in the boxing ring, taking care of each of the fires.\xa0 We talked a lot about what it takes to rely on God and each other, and how to avoid the self centeredness that plagues the industry.\xa0 Chad gave some incredible bits of wisdom on the business side of filmmaking and talked about how to find joy in the challenges.\xa0 Great advice for life, really.\xa0 Enjoy!
