Nora Jane Long tells real stories about the most important issues you’ve probably never heard about.

Bold enough to dive headfirst into the muddy depths of a mangrove forest, quick enough to track the elusive two-toed sloth through a tropical canopy, her lens is always focused on the greenest, most delicious, most stunningly gorgeous details. You know, the details that matter most. Equally, excessively passionate about humans, critters, and plants, her films explore the intersection of all three. When not making films, she channels her feminine rage into growing a variety of hot peppers via an indoor hydroponic garden.

An Emmy-nominated, multi-hyphenate filmmaker, her issue-focused work has screened at film festivals around the world, been broadcast on PBS and Good Morning America, and used as an advocacy tool by dozens of non-profit organizations and community groups. Her films have received support from PNC Bank, the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund, Southern Exposure, and more. She holds an MFA in Film and Television Production from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was an honors scholar.
