Producer CHRIS FARRELL


Chris Farrell developed and produced the documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President, which showcases the life of former President Jimmy Carter and how music and musicians played an integral part in his personal and political life. The film received critical acclaim for telling a surprising and previously unknown story. It centers around the key themes of hope, faith, compassion, redemption, moral courage and the power of music to bring people together. The film also is noteworthy for its eclectic, all-star cast.

The film was slated to open the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was distributed via Greenwich Entertainment, CNN Films and HBO Max, and internationally in Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Japan, and the UK.

Chris was a partner in the launch of The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway in the wake of 9/11. He was also instrumental in bringing the event to The Old Vic Theatre in London. The 24 Hour Plays would go on to be an annual event in London, Los Angeles and on Broadway, raising over $10 million for charity.

He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Shelbourne Football Club and Health Designs, a privately-held health and wellness company. Previously, he served on the Board of Directors of the Surfrider Foundation and held various roles with the Joyful Heart Foundation Board of Directors.
