Call for Submissions: Short Documentaries
Celebrate a decade of creativity with us by pitching any story to STORYHIVE’s Anniversary Documentary Edition. We are funding 80 content creators with $20,000 in production funding, training, mentorship and distribution on TELUS Optik TV and Stream+. We are looking for compelling local stories including stories about community builders, health and wellness, innovative local technology, environment, agriculture and beyond. Pitch any short documentary from your community that you are passionate about.
For the STORYHIVE 2023 Anniversary Documentary Edition (the “STORYHIVE Edition”), each Project will consist of a locally reflective Bonus Program (30-60 minutes) and a locally reflective documentary Main Program (minimum 15 minutes). In addition to the funding, successful creators will receive customized training, filmmaking mentorship and distribution of their projects on select TELUS Platforms. This is a chance to make some content that matters to you and retain the intellectual property rights to your produced work.
This program is open to British Columbia and Alberta residents. Please read the submission guidelines and rules to find out more information.
Deadline: February 28, 2023 - before midnight PST/MT.
