Based on the memoir by Jeffrey Stone · A private preview
A skeptic. A Bible that will not miss. A Universe with impeccable timing.
The animated universe
A rhyming, sun-saturated storybook world. Jeff the Tiger, the Big Red Book, the Whisper Wind, and a bear whose story patches come alive. Narrated in couplets by a deeply reasonable Spaniel.
The book as written, affectionately exaggerated. A skeptic duels a Bible that keeps landing on the day's reading — and the Universe never misses. Classic animation styles, one per short.
A startup parish timesharing a Baptist building — a workplace sitcom interrupted by the divine. MC Lector drops Luke 16 like a single. Clean floor, sharp elbows, sincere spine.
Who you'll meet
Full story lines, scripts, and the character bible are in the execution map — one signature away.
The fan club with a table
Membership has one verb: host one. Pick your gathering, open the guide, set the table. Every guide includes a short to screen, a conversation arc from the book's own discussion questions, and a "tell your coincidence" round.
Family picnic or classroom hour: Wonder Guide activities, story-patch drawing, coincidence scavenger sheet.
Open the picnic guideA guided, themed dinner party — five conversation courses, table cards, one short between courses.
Open the host kitPizza-night format for youth groups and dorms: clip screening, speed-round cards, run-the-odds game.
Open the session guideThree guides are written and ready to print. When the Club opens to readers, this is where they'd sign up to host — one email, one guide, one table at a time. For now the guides are yours to read through.

Concept pieces — prices shown are planning estimates against print-on-demand costs, and the storefront goes live alongside the first shorts. The book's cover art stays with its designer and is never used on merch.
The How page
One signature clears the whole thing. The full production strategy — the slate, the ninety-day map with tooling and costs named, the funding ladder, community circuit design, production economics, and the option strategy — opens the moment the agreement is executed. Nothing stays behind a second door. One signer: the author.
Ready to option? That same signature starts that conversation.
Real shorts, real story lines — abbreviated here to the hook. Full scripts and story bible live with the manuscript materials under this same NDA.
Rights letter (adaptation, characters, merch, revenue split) executed alongside this NDA; manuscript file delivered; publisher confirmation that media rights sit with the author. Counsel reviews both instruments.
Path A: option/development with a production house (author attached as EP). Path B: co-production on one lane. Path C: community circuit — pie sales and fruit stands run by partner congregations, and a lake-house weekend raffle run only by a licensed charitable partner under Virginia charitable gaming rules, with school-district approval where applicable. Paydirt sponsors; it never operates games of chance. Counsel clears every event before a flyer prints.
Shorts → gatherings → reviews and book sales → merch margin → next short. When the wheel proves it spins without a studio, the studio conversation changes.
You've read the whole map. The next step is a conversation, not another document.
