One shot, done right
Every film is built shot by shot — 1,600 and counting. A gift this size covers one of them, retakes included.

What your gift animates
Your dollar has one job: finishing films.
Nine-plus books of the Bible are in production right now — over 1,600 cinematic shots so far. Gifts don't disappear into an organization; they become seconds of finished film.
A scene comes alive
Five to eight shots, cut together, graded and scored — one finished scene of the story.
A builder's pace
Steady monthly support is what lets us plan whole books instead of single scenes. It's the giving that moves the meters below.
An act of a film
A whole act — the kind of block that pushes a film from "in production" to "finished".
The mapping is illustrative — every gift, whatever its size, pools into the same production fund. Nothing else is funded from it.

Gifts go to PrayWorks Studios — the independent Swedish studio behind Bible in a Nutshell.
Radical transparency
Where every dollar goes.
One place: production. We don't run offices, salaries come last, and the finished scenes are public proof of where the money went.
Rendering & animation
Generating, retaking and grading the thousands of shots the films are made of — by far the biggest cost.
Sound & score
Voices, music and the soundscapes that make a valley feel deep and a storm feel close.
Cut & polish
Editing, timing and mastering — the difference between clips and cinema.
The work is the receipt. Every scene your gift finishes becomes public — support has a face, not a black box.
Free stays free. Your donation never builds a paywall — it keeps the animations free for people who could never pay for them.
Watch it happen. Released books, new scenes, live progress meters — you can see what's currently in production at any moment.
Donor questions
Asked and answered.
Can I cancel my monthly gift?
Yes — any time, in two clicks, no email needed. Monthly gifts come with a self-service page where you can manage your monthly gift, update your card or stop entirely.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
No — we're an independent animation studio, not a registered charity, so gifts aren't tax-deductible. What we promise instead is simpler: everything you give goes into production.
What payment methods can I use?
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe's secure checkout, shown in your own currency and language. We never see or store your card details. Swish for Swedish supporters is on our list.
Can I give toward a specific book?
Yes. Larger gifts can be pointed at a specific book — Enoch, Samuel, Daniel, any of them — or at the feature-film fund. Use the Patron option above and we'll arrange it personally.
Will the films stay free?
Always. Nothing we make goes behind a paywall — giving funds the making, never the watching. That's the whole point of asking.
Who is behind this?
The team behind the Bible in a Nutshell YouTube channel — 443,000 subscribers and 37 million views on our animations so far. See the work for yourself on YouTube.
