By a Thread
Let the story begin.
A new docuseries weaving modern fairytales from the fragile, magical connections that tether us to nature, each other, and the tales we all have to tell.



E
very thread tells a story.
In a world brimming with untold wonders, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Nora Jane Long seeks the extraordinary in the everyday. Her latest project will craft cinematic portraits into a digital storybook of modern fairytales.
Often, adventure begins with a narrator's voice, the timeless words “once upon a time”— but here, it’s real people who are tellers of their own tales, in this present moment. Through their voices, we uncover journeys of magic, adventure, and transformation.




We welcome all to this shared storybook, and invite you to step into a realm where, by looking more closely, anything can be more what than it seems. With a lens trained on the interplay of humanity and the natural world, “By a Thread” reveals the luminous tapestry of connection that bind us all.
​
These deeply inspired episodes will explore paths, people, places easily overlooked (as all the best magic is) yet profoundly impactful, illustrating the beauty in the ephemeral and purpose in the unwritten. With your support and collaboration, we can illuminate these quiet marvels, celebrating the power of storytelling to bring light into shadow and foster a better, brighter world.
​
​
This is a journey of discovery, an ode to the human spirit, and a testament to the magic within us all.
