Every creative project starts with a great idea — but making it a reality? That's where the real magic happens. At the beginning, the logistics can feel intimidating and endless. But if you keep your eyes on the bigger picture, the pieces will start to fall into place.

On this episode of First Frame, hosts Cameron Zinger and Jennifer Park sit down with STORYHIVE alumnus Jacqueline Clements, co-founder of TCF4 Productions, to explore what it takes to take your idea from concept to creation. Together, they discuss how to stay focused, build momentum, and why it's okay to ask for help along the way. From producing a travel show in Bolivia to launching a cooking series she never thought would get the greenlight, Jacqueline shares how she's navigated the ups and downs of the creative process. Her journey from STORYHIVE-supported creator to established producer showcases the program's commitment to helping emerging talent access and succeed in the broadcasting industry. Plus, she offers a little reminder that it's never too late (or too early!) to start something new. Listen in for a fresh dose of inspiration and practical advice from a seasoned Canadian creator who embodies the transformative power of community support in building a thriving television career.

What drives someone to take that first, shaky step into the world of content creation? Where do the “big ideas” come from and how do you develop them? How should aspiring creators even get started? Those questions are at the center of this premiere episode of First Frame, proudly presented by TELUS STORYHIVE.

In this exciting kickoff panel, hosts Jennifer Park and Cameron Zinger are joined by an all-star line-up of STORYHIVE alumni who have successfully turned their passion into action; documentary filmmaker Kat Jayme, podcaster Kels Delamarter, and actor/producer Griffin Cork. From their own origin stories and inspiration, to the biggest challenges they’ve faced on the road to success, the trio shares invaluable advice and experience for new and veteran content creators alike. You’ll also learn about their favourite tools of the trade, and hear some tips and tactics that our guests wish had been shared with them before they started their own content creation journeys.
