Now, she’s making a film to ensure this groundbreaking story is told. If you can, donate even a fiver, this contribution helps get this important piece of sports history onto the big screen. greenlit.com/project/foundi… #Rugby #RugbyWorldCup #WomensSport #DocumentaryFilm

1991, Alice and three friends created the very first Women's Rugby World Cup. No funding, no backing from the sport’s governing bodies, just pure determination. Against all the odds, they pulled it off in Cardiff (don't be rude), and history was made. greenlit.com/project/foundi…

Getting anything made in Film & TV takes a herculean effort, so I’m incredibly proud to support my friend Alice D Cooper who is raising funds for a documentary that tells a story she helped shape. greenlit.com/project/foundi…

We’re thrilled to welcome Bella Tomlinson to the Bournemouth International Film Festival as our Senior Judge – Animation! BAFTA-nominated Bella Tomlinson is a highly experienced animation producer with a strong understanding of commercial, long-form, and independent animation.
