Halifax & Rugby - Making a Film

Welcome to our Indiegogo campaign for a sports documentary on the 150 years of Rugby League in Halifax, UK!

Halifax has a rich history in Rugby League, and this documentary aims to celebrate that legacy. Our film will explore the people, the players, and the culture that have made Halifax such an important part of the sport's history.

To make this project a reality, we need your help. Our team has been working hard to research, film, and edit this documentary, but we still need funding to cover the costs of production, equipment, and post-production. By contributing to our Indiegogo campaign, you can help us create a high-quality film that showcases the importance of Halifax in Rugby League.

We believe that this documentary will not only be a tribute to the sport, but also a valuable piece of history that will be enjoyed by sports fans around the world. Your contribution will help us share this important story with the world.

As a thank you for your support, we're offering a range of perks, including exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content, signed merchandise, and even the opportunity to attend the premiere of the documentary.

We're excited about this project and can't wait to share it with you. Please join us in celebrating the 150 years of Rugby League in Halifax by contributing to our Indiegogo campaign. Together, we can make this documentary a reality and honor the legacy of this great sport in our community.

We're thrilled to offer our supporters the chance to be a part of this exciting project. As a special perk for our top-level supporters, we're offering the opportunity to appear in the documentary itself! You'll have the chance to share your own personal story about Rugby League in Halifax and be a part of this important piece of history.

Not only will you have the chance to contribute to the making of this film, but you'll also have a chance to be a part of it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share your passion for the sport and be a part of a documentary that celebrates the legacy of Rugby League in Halifax.

We hope you'll consider supporting our project and taking advantage of this amazing opportunity. Thank you for your support!

About Us

I’m James Mellor from Rainbow Trout Films and I’ve been in the film/tv industry for nearly 30 years.  This will be my second crowdfunded project.  The first was the Inflight Food Trip series which has now been seen in 116 countries around the world. 

We have made this campaign flexible with some very high aspirations for the documentary film. What I love about this project is that it’s not just about the sport, but it’s about the town. Halifax, where I was born, where my business is and how we are proud of what Halifax stands for and where it’s going.  I believe we can create an award winning film that we can be proud of.

We would like to also thank the Community Foundation for Calderdale through the Halifax Supporters Trust, whom helped get this project off the ground initially. And to everyone who has supported myself and Linda so far on this journey.

This is a joint venture between Rainbow Trout Films and The Halifax Supporters Trust.

What We Need & What You Get

To make a film and include all the elements we would like to get is going to be in-part down to you.  We are in talks with a famous actor about doing the narration for the film, which will only be possible with your help.  Also if we are able to hit our goals, we can do more and film more people and interviews to make this film even better.  Many players now live in Australia, so part of the funds would go into hiring local crew to capture those interviews.  Every great film has a great score. We are in talks with a film composer to produce a bespoke soundtrack to enhance the film.  We have specifically created a couple of music producer perks, which would enable that to happen.

We are working with the Yorkshire Film Archive, and we have already discovered some gems from the sport and the town of Halifax.  Your funds help us with the licencing and permissions to use the footage.

We plan to have a glitzy Yorkshire Screening of the Film, Timing TBC, but looking at Nov/Dec. VIP tickets are part of several of the Perk options and we will have further opportunities later in the year to find out more about that.

Fancy your company name in the Movie? We have a unique Headline Sponsor Perk, with will be part of the opening credits of the film. VIP tickets to the premiere and print and digital promotion of your brand.

Or maybe you would like a cool film poster to go on your wall?  There should be a perk for everyone and you will have your name in the credits.

Would you like to be in the film?  We have an opportunity for you to be an extra in some of the reconstruction filming we will be doing over the summer.

The Impact

This Film will have the opportunity to be seen around the world and not just by a small audience in Halifax. This in turn will be a great promotion for Calderdale, Halifax and the sport of Rugby League.  We have successfully got our previous doc series to 116 countries so far, so we know that we can do it.

Risks & Challenges

What happens if we don’t reach the initial funding goal?

If we don’t raise as much money then, we will scale back certain elements of the production, for example with the music, we would use music library options instead. Some filming maybe cut back, but be assured that we will have a completed film, ready for the premiere this year.
