The STORYHIVE Indigenous Storyteller Edition is designed to empower and support capacity building for Indigenous storytellers in eligible communities in British Columbia and Alberta through film.
Since 2013, STORYHIVE has supported a community of more than 18,000 local content creators across the two provinces. Providing over $15 million in funding and offering a safe space for storytellers to hone their skills, the aim is to bring the projects that creators care about to life.
“Our second Indigenous Storyteller Edition continues TELUS STORYHIVE’s commitment to providing opportunity for those historically excluded in Western Canada,” says Shaun Cathcart, STORYHIVE’s program manager.
In partnership with the Indigenous Screen Office, Creative BC and an Indigenous advisory committee, STORYHIVE aims to provide support to 30 Indigenous-led film projects.
Selected storytellers will receive a $20,000 production grant, mentorship, training and distribution through TELUS Optik TV. The Indigenous Screen Office and Creative BC will also be providing top-up funding of $3,000 for each selected project.
