Jenkin is a descendant of Alfred Wallis, a Cornish artist and fisherman.
Jenkin won the Frank Copplestone First Time Director Award at The Celtic Film & Television Festival in 2002 for his debut film Golden Burn. He followed this success with documentaries, shorts and low-budget feature films including The Man Who Needed a Traffic Light, The Rabbit and The Lobsterman, a documentary on the life of Cornish playwright Nick Darke. His 2007 feature film The Midnight Drives was described by Derek Malcolm, film critic for The Evening Standard as "A moving film about parentage with an exceptional performance from Colin Holt at its centre".
Jenkin wrote and directed the 2019 drama film Bait, starring Edward Rowe and Jenkin's partner Mary Woodvine.
In 2020, Jenkin was recognised as a Cornish Bard for his work in promoting Cornwall’s heritage. In 2022, he created two music videos for the band the Smile.
