New Sports Feature Doc Co-Pro: The Founding Four

A co-production for a feature documentary about the four women who started the Women’s Rugby World CUp in 1991.

The spine of the documentary is already filmed and a crowd funding campaign started on 10th June to progress the cost of the post production and licensing unique footage. It’s raised 31% in three weeks. Find out more here: https://greenlit.com/project/founding-four

This is the definitive documentary about the four women who set up the Women's Rugby World Cup, of which A. D. Cooper is one.

Working alongside renowned rugby broadcaster Nick Heath and established sports documentary company Branded Studios.

We've just completed a very successful crowdfunding campaign, raising 104% of our target. This allows us to licence key footage.

Currently we are organising the use of this archive footage from the UK and overseas to enrich the documentary and this is taking a considerable length of time to sort. Our archive producer is busy negotiating the vital licences. We have postponed the planned next edit for December to the new year as until we know what archive we can use, the edit can't successfully progress. More updates as they happen.
