Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Access, the development programme for under-represented creatives, and TNT Sports have today launched Reframe the Game, a new initiative created to give women filmmakers the opportunity to tell untold stories from across women’s sport. The programme, which opens to applicants today (Wednesday 06 November), will invite women filmmakers and directors to share a short documentary concept in response to the prompt ‘Tell us a story about women’s sport that needs to be told.’

Following review of the written submissions, ten applicants will be invited to join a week-long professional development programme; providing mentoring, masterclasses and workshops aiming to equip them with knowledge and exposure to both sports production and unscripted storytelling. The training week will culminate in a pitch day, presenting to a panel of industry experts and WBD senior executives who will select three filmmakers to create their short-form documentaries that will be broadcast on TNT Sports in 2025.

The three successful filmmakers will be supported by WBD and TNT Sports production teams, who will help produce the films and mentor the filmmakers throughout the process, they will also be awarded a production budget and fee. Applications are open and close at midnight on Friday 29 November. Full entry criteria and terms and conditions and programme timings can be seen here.

Scott Young, SVP Content, Production and Business Operations at WBD Sports said: “Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and we always want to see more diversity in the stories that we tell. We want to see more women in sport broadcast, both in front and behind the camera, and that is why we have launched this initiative, to encourage women filmmakers to consider the stories still to be told about women’s sport. I’m delighted TNT Sports is involved in Reframe the Game and we can’t wait to see the entries and bring these new and untold stories to our audiences.”

Jennifer Sobol, Director DEI Pipeline Programs said: “Our vision at Warner Bros. Discovery is to empower storytellers to help shape and deliver more inclusive stories for our audiences. Reframe The Game will offer women filmmakers the opportunity to bring new perspectives and showcase diverse, inclusive narratives of women’s sport.

Reframe the Game is the next programme from WBD Access, which champions new and exciting voices to gain experience, mentoring and training in the media sector and follows established programmes such as Black Britain Unspoken and the Waterloo Road Directors Programme.”


WBD offers audiences in the UK and Ireland a range of premium women’s sport including Premiership Women's Rugby, UEFA Women’s Champions League football, domestic women's football from France, Spain and Germany (via TNT Sports) as well as every point from every match at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros Grand Slam tennis tournaments, the Tour de France Femmes and 100% of cycling’s women’s World Tour (via Eurosport).
