Tell us a story about women's sport that needs to be told.

In partnership with TNT Sports, Reframe the Game is a new program developed to give women filmmakers the opportunity to tell unique stories from across women’s sport.

Reframe the Game

Launched last year, Reframe the Game aims to tell untold stories from across women’s sport, as part of TNT Sports commitment to ensuring access and representation for all in sports production, both in front of and behind the camera.

 

Ten filmmakers were shortlisted to take part in a professional development week designed to give them access and exposure to sports production and unscripted storytelling. Sessions included personal branding workshops, training delivered by Media Trust and Channel 4 News Presenter Keme Nzerem on best interview practice, and industry deep dives with WBD’s Bentley Weiner, SVP HBO Sport Documentaries; Scott Young, SVP Content, Production and Business Operations at WBD Sports; and Rebecca Diver Phillips, VP Marketing WBD UK & Ireland and TNT Sports.

 

The three short films, The Long Away Game directed by Hannah Congdon, No Rucks Given! directed by Somina Fombo and SET PACE directed by Daisy Ifama, were selected following a pitch to a judging panel of industry experts, including WBD Executive Producer Kevin Evans and TNT Sports MotoGP presenter Suzi Perry.

 

Each filmmaker’s short responds to the prompt ‘Tell us a story about women’s sport that needs to be told’:

The Long Away Game – Directed by Hannah Congdon

A young woman is uprooted from her country in terrifying circumstances. After a headline-hitting evacuation to the UK, she finds a new home and community in a Yorkshire football club.

 

No Rucks Given! – Directed by Somina Fombo

From muddy grassroots pitches to record-breaking crowds, past players laid the foundations, present players drive the legacy. This is the story of the rise in topflight women's rugby. Featuring former player of the year at the Guinness National Rugby Awards Laura Kapo, No Rucks Given! uncovers the untold struggles, relentless passion, and game-changing moments that built the women’s club level game.

 

SET PACE – Directed by Daisy Ifama

SET PACE tells the story of legendary Carol Glenn, Britain's first black, female motorsports official, as she sets out on a new venture to launch her own race team, breaking boundaries as the first black woman in the UK to do so. This film is a celebration of motorsports, of Black British community, the fight to improve gender, racial and economic difference on the track and what one woman’s lifetime of dedication can do to change the world.
