We had the good fortune of connecting with Derek Jenkins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derek, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued an artist/creative career because I was born to do it. Ever since I was 7 or 8 years old I’ve been into videography, I just didn’t know it yet. I started out making videos on my iPad. I actually created the idea of “Rekless Productions” around then. I’ve always wanted a life outside of the norm. A simple 9-5 desk job wasn’t going to cut it for me so it was that or bust. I strive to be the greatest videographer/photographer in DFW and Texas as a whole. I’m still underground but not for long…

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from the rest is my attention to detail, creative eye, and superhuman storytelling abilities. All of these things I’ve curated over the years. I’m 22 and been in the game for 5 years now. I’ve learned several lessons along the way but the biggest one is to make your newest piece of work your best. ALWAYS. If you do that, there’s no way you won’t get your foot in the door.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my family for all of their support. I would’ve never made it without them!
