Hello friends, so this is to tell you about JAWBONE, a new video channel that’s just emerging into the world – or leading us out of it. Episodes are usually about twenty minutes, and for all of us with a love of storytelling, myth, and big religious questions. With my friend the filmmaker Isaiah Smallman we are putting these wild little episodes together. We have Christian Wonder Tales coming, ancient myths, Biblical stories and many imaginings from the scuffs and wonders of my own life that show up along the way.
Please help: there’s no strategic algorithm plot or heavily funded campaign to get folks to watch it, it’s completely word of mouth. We want to do good. So please consider sharing with your communities if you’d be so kind. Here comes the official description:
Acclaimed storyteller and author MARTIN SHAW invites us into his study where he freewheels his ferocious imagination into everything he's learnt about life over half a century. He asks: how do we become a real human being? Using myth, storytelling and his own unique form of philosophizing, Shaw reveals what he calls 'ancient technologies' and shows how we can use them today. Each episode is essentially an improvisation, Martin having half a notion of where it may go but allowing imagination full reign as we process. The themes create themselves as he speaks.

'Jawbone' - genius title and brilliant idea, hope it spreads far and wide for many years to come. More stories the merrier, thanks Martin!
Exciting!
