This PBS special explores the ageless ritual of live storytelling, and its current revival in regional festivals around the country. Six popular storytellers share their favorite stories, and offer their thoughts on storytelling's unique power to heal, enlighten, and bind families and communities together.

The program features extensive title sequences and transitions, designed to underscore the drama and intimacy of the subject matter. Stylized interpretations of the six stories told in the program are juxtaposed with images of everyday storytelling "moments", the kind we all experience in our daily lives.

Fabric is a key component of our design solution. Undulating "threads" take us from scene to scene, helping to build the various hand-written titles. Fabric patterns and textures meld with the foreground imagery, creating a continous "tapestry" of color, movement and humanity.
