Original concepts and writing.
Created through Pearl & Pig.
The Keepers
Created by Jon Hartman · Pearl & Pig
Read the concept
Before the knock. Before the manger. Before the star… there was a family trying to hold it all together. Caught between prophecy and pressure, doubt and destiny. This is their story, told with music and heart. The Keepers Live! is built for the stage and written for the family.
The Keepers Animated
Created by Jon Hartman · Pearl & Pig
Read the concept
Adventure awaits in every prophecy. This animated series (TKA) follows four unlikely explorers that discover a hidden world behind the stories of scripture, unlocking clues, navigating riddles, and learning timeless truths. Together, they're more than family, more than friends… They're The Keepers.
B-BOTS
Created by Jon Hartman · Pearl & Pig
Read the concept
B-BOTS empower children to navigate a tech-shaped world with wisdom, wonder, and heart. Through interactive stories and glowing adventures, they teach kids how to think critically, use technology safely, and grow in character. Each mission blends biblical values with real-world problem-solving, helping young viewers connect faith with action.
Dust to Glory
Created by Jon Hartman · Pearl & Pig
Read the concept
From Dust to Glory is a fully scripted, music-driven worship experience that blends Scripture, surround sound, and sacred visuals. An immersive encounter with the life and miracles of Jesus, featuring iconic worship songs, spatial narration voiced in English and Spanish, fully synchronized lighting, visuals, projection, and effects. Designed to scale from 500 to 20,000 seats.

TO BUILDING
HOW IT WORKS.
Founder · Producer · Systems Designer
Through Pearl & Pig, I lead the development of TELA, Orbit, and TourText, shaped by real production workflows and the people doing the work.
Created by Jon HartmanIn development
The workspace.
Tour Worlds, information, and the work ahead.
The conversation.
A way to work with production context.
Tour information.
Instantly usable under pressure.
An SMS-first tour information system that makes existing tour data accessible by text, using source documents and exports from systems such as Master Tour and Eventbrite.
Open Orbit. Choose Tour World. Ask TELA.
From a document to a useful answer.
A workflow these tools are being developed to support.
- Organize the source.Orbit holds a Tour World’s information and the work ahead.
- Ask in context.TELA is the conversation layer for working with production context.
- Reach it by text.TourText is designed to make existing tour information accessible by SMS.
Illustrative request “What time is load-in?”
Use a verified source. Flag missing or uncertain information for follow-up.

PEOPLE.DETAILS.SHOW DAY.
Start with the audience: what they need to understand and feel, how the show moves, and where a moment needs room. Writing, preparation, and coordination give the team a shared direction for show day.
Clear before we get there.
Venue requirements, rehearsal plans, production schedules, and the questions that need an answer.
