A new program to support Canadian feature documentaries
Authentic. Impactful. Specific.
Launching in 2023
TELUS independent is a feature documentary program based in Western Canada, accessible to all Canadians. Watch this space for program announcements.
A shared future
Creating meaningful solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges requires all of our voices, deep empathy, and new ways of thinking.
We commission documentaries that engage, entertain, and propel strategies for change in the following areas of impact:
Community
Sustainability and food security
Youth leading global transformation
Health and well-being in complex environments
Emerging technologies and democracy of access
The stories we support are identified and driven by you.
Meaningful collaboration
We partner with Canadian production companies to pre-license feature documentaries for TELUS platforms.
Our evaluation criteria encompass strategies for ethical storytelling, Indigenous narrative sovereignty, narrative sovereignty for all traditionally underrepresented communities, and sustainable production practices.
Full evaluation guidelines coming soon.
