Update #3: Dewey Fleece
Well, here we are, with slightly over two weeks remaining before the Kickstarter experiment finishes for Togarmah.
I am deeply grateful for the small, intimate circle of supporters; it looks at this point as if an even greater miracle than initially expected is needed to pull the project past the post.
Since "hope may be the best of things," here is to hoping for a miracle, and to placing out the dry fleece in rainy Ireland, to see what may befall it.
I am headed to SBL next week, to present a paper on Bible and Film there, and will let other scholars know of this project there.
Peace,
Jason
Update #2: 1/3 of way there
The project has been online for 30 days now; 60 days to go. To be honest, I had been hoping for a larger response, but there is still hope!
Please continue to spread the word to those you know. Anyone can be involved, and all help is greatly appreciated; if so desired, one can also donate in someone else's name (for a gift, etc).
I am working on more concept material, and will post it here when it is available.
Jason
