🍎 Pitch Video Spotlight!

Congratulations to David Scarlatescu from Vernon, BC, who has been selected for the TELUS STORYHIVE Films: Three-Part Docuseries Edition to produce “Vernon: The Orchard City”!

Vernon’s fruit story is also a water story.

From the historic Grey Canal that helped bring water to early orchards, to the family farms, market vendors and u-pick fields still working the land today, this series explores the deep connection between water, agriculture and community.

“Vernon: The Orchard City” looks at how agriculture helped shape Vernon’s identity—and what it takes to keep its local food culture thriving for generations to come.

Congratulations, David! We’re excited to see this story of land, water, food and community come to life. 🎥✨

🌾 Pitch Video Spotlight!

Congratulations to Danielle Payne on being selected for the TELUS STORYHIVE Films: Three-Part Docuseries Edition! 🎉

Behind every meal on a Southern Alberta table is a woman who helped make it possible.

“Rooted - The Women Feeding Southern Alberta” is a three-part documentary series that follows three women—a farmer, a chef and a baker—as they share their stories and trace the invisible thread connecting open land to community table.

Through their experiences, the series explores the people, passion and labour behind the food we share—and asks a simple but powerful question:

What does it really mean to feed a place?

We can’t wait to see this project come to life. 🌱 Stay tuned for this incredible story!
