Work For Hire

Bring G-dcast off the screen and into your world! Hire us to run one of our community programs with your family, at your school or synagogue, or during a camp session in one of these creative ways:

G-dcast in Progress

Description: G-dcast In Progress combines traditional text study with a storyboarding activity and a staged reading to bring participants into the art of adapting classical Jewish texts. We work with a G-dcast screenplay currently in progress, and ask participants to weigh in on our choices from their unique perspectives.

Length: 1-2 hr session

Intended Audience: Can be adapted for 8 year olds through Adults depending on the story.

Participant Outcomes:
1. Discover how exciting and accessible Jewish texts are
2. Gain experience with filmmaking tools through a Jewish lens
3. Contribute directly to the creation of a G-dcast episode
