Heated Rivalry Behind-the-Scenes with Director & Creator Jacob Tierney

DGC Director Jacob Tierney takes us inside the world of his new series Heated Rivalry, the Crave show currently taking the internet by storm that follows two queer hockey stars through a years-long, slow-burn romance.

In our new video, Jacob takes Wider Lens through the process of adapting a beloved book series, choreographing intimate scenes that feel grounded and narratively essential, and building a queer romance that prioritizes pleasure, emotional depth, and a satisfying arc that doesn’t end in tragedy.
