ABOUT THE PROGRAM

No film degree? No problem. Beginners welcome.

If you have an idea for a local story to share, we want to help you bring it to life.

In collaboration with TELUS STORYHIVE, VoVo Productions is offering a program to train, mentor and support residents of British Columbia and Alberta to each make a locally reflective short video documentary, with the filmmaking tools they have available.

Completed documentaries will be made available on TELUS Optik TV® On Demand. This program was created to provide professional support and mentorship to empower first-time documentary filmmakers in Western Canada who have a story about their community they are passionate to share.

STORYHIVE is proud to partner with VoVo Productions to run the Community Stories program to build, empower and shape individuals with no prior knowledge in filmmaking into self-sufficient, nimble and powerful media content creators.

TELUS STORYHIVE has supported a community of more than 18,000 local content creators across B.C. and Alberta since 2013, providing over $11 million in funding and creating a safe space for storytellers to hone their skills and bring the projects they care about to life. The team is proud to empower diverse emerging creators to tell stories that reflect their communities and culture. For more information, visit https://www.storyhive.com/.

IN our program, we honour participants who lift up others and are dedicated to positive change. We also honour the creative geniuses who often work quietly in the background but are instrumental in creating beautiful, creative films.
