Hi Rollaball backers

We wanted to share our latest news with you –

Since our February shoot in Ghana, we have been assembling the new footage - it's looking really good!

In April we received great news that the Rolling Rockets had been invited to participate in the Super 4 Para-Soccer Demonstration match in Nigeria this October. Three Nigerian teams will compete against one team from Ghana in this Promasidor-sponsored clash. The Ghanaian team will be made up of players from all over the country so we hope that a few Rolling Rockets members will make the cut! The good news is that we received some additional funding that will allow us to film the tournament; this will be great exposure for the sport.

This does mean that the film will not be completed mid-year as we originally projected, but we hope that this new footage will make it worth the wait! We will keep you up to date on the proposed dates for delivery of your rewards. We appreciate your patience and your continued support!

Please stay in touch with us via Facebook and twitter!

All the best from Eddie, Steven, Shelley and the RB team

Hello Rollaball supporters,

It’s 4 months on from our successful Kickstarter campaign and we have some news we thought you’d like to hear.

Last night our crew (director Eddie Edwards, director of photography, Frank, and sound recordist, Joe) arrived in Accra, ready for a 2 week shoot! They join our local crew of Kofi, York, Mawuli and Michael. This shoot marks the start of Rollaball's principal photography and we’re very excited about what we will capture during this time. We’ll be spending time with the Rolling Rockets players – both on and off the ‘field’ – filming interviews, skate soccer matches, in-fighting, baby-naming ceremonies and their lives on the street. Eddie and Frank have also come up with some innovative ways to film the matches, which involves a homemade skateboard and a GoPro camera…

Please stay in touch and visit us on Facebook and twitter for up to date news and photos from Accra.

Thanks for your continued support.

The Rollaball team

6 hours to go Rollaball supporters!

Once again, a huge THANK YOU for your continued support. We are currently on $36 791 from 287 backers around the world. 

We’d really like to try and make it to $40 000 before the cut off tonight. More funds mean we could shoot for longer, use better equipment and begin the editing process.

We’re aiming to finish the film in July 2013 and 25% of any profits the film generates will go to the team, which is managed by SYDO, the organisation that coach Albert K Frimpong started. We feel like the dream is becoming real!

Please help us spread the word for these last few hours – we’re going for gold!

Thank you,

Eddie and the team

Wow, I can’t believe it. We’ve reached our target with 14 hours to spare! A HUGE much appreciated thank you to all who have helped us get there.

This amount will enable us to travel to Ghana and shoot the film. It’s going to be brilliant. But with extra funds we can shoot for longer, use better equipment, begin the edit and really do this film the justice it deserves, so we are now striving for $40,000. We can do it!!
