70 projects pitched by new and emerging digital content creators across British Columbia and Alberta have been selected to produce their locally reflective video series. These projects range from brand new stories to returning series in their second, third and even fourth seasons!

Each selected project will receive $10,000 in production funding as well as training, a community of support and distribution on TELUS Optik TV, Stream+ and STORYHIVE’s YouTube channel. 

From a reality TV competition focused on barbering, to a DIY show on crafting unique piñatas and a docuseries exploring how pickleball invigorated a community's spirit, our upcoming video series lineup promises a captivating array of topics. Additionally, we've selected an exciting number of projects focused on educational and entertaining content for kids and youth.
