THE RECORD is being produced by Her Films and the makers of the movie expressed their excitement at the project.
“The moment we heard about the bold plan to fill the MCG on International Women’s Day 2020 we knew we had to be a part of it. Here was a seismic opportunity to shift the sporting landscape,” said Her Films’ producers, Nicole Minchin and Angela Pippos.
“As documentary filmmakers with a passion for equality and social change, this story was irresistible. The tournament, and the quest for the record, threw up more drama than we could ever have imagined and we couldn’t be more excited to share The Record with the world.”
Cricket Australia Interim CEO Nick Hockley said THE Record is a production that Cricket Australia is extremely proud of and excited to see come to life.
“The documentation of Australia’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup campaign has given us the opportunity to reflect on what was a monumental occasion for cricket.
“I would like to thank everyone who played their part in bringing both the event and this documentary to life. Reliving this special moment in time will hopefully inspire the next generation of cricketers, both girls and boys, to aspire to play on the biggest stage of all.”
