G-dcast
Sarah G. Lefton
Sarah G. Lefton
Well-loved, but little understood, Biblical characters tell their stories in this funny, animated weekly web series. Based on the Old Testament, G-dcast is infused with humor, music and a very contemporary point of view: 55 different guest writers tell a story each week, and then we animate it! G-dcast’s point of view is particularly Jewish, but universally human in its storytelling, ethics and sense of fun.
A Gentle Walk
