$20K grants available: TELUS STORYHIVE Pan-Asian Edition opens applications April 1
TELUS STORYHIVE is launching their inaugural Pan-Asian Storyteller Edition, which will help tell important and often underrepresented voices from Alberta and B.C. This program is designed to help empower new and emerging filmmakers of Pan-Asian descent by providing them with substantial resources and opportunities to bring their content dreams to life. This program is a reflection of the rich diversity of narratives from Pan-Asian creatives in Canada.
TELUS STORYHIVE aims to be inclusive of the breadth and depth of experiences of new and emerging filmmakers in B.C. and Alberta who are of Asian descent from across all regions of continental Asia.
Starting April 1, you can apply to be part of this new STORYHIVE program.
Applications for the TELUS STORYHIVE Pan-Asian Storyteller Edition open on April 1, 2025. If your story idea is selected, you will receive $20,000 in production funding, training, and professional mentorship (in partnership with the National Screen Institute) to produce a narrative short film or documentary. Gain access to over one million new viewers on TELUS Optik TV, Stream+ and over 162,000 subscribers on STORYHIVE’s YouTube channel.
