• Racing Pigeon Documentaries

After their success with the short, they went on to secure funding to produce a feature length (76min) version of the film. Although not pigeon fanciers themselves, they found the sport to be fascinating and the pigeon fanciers to be an incredibly diverse and passionate community.

Little Ripper - Fast, Feathered & Fearless was never intended to be solely aimed at pigeon fanciers. In fact, Jarrod and Craig deliberately set out to make a documentary on pigeon racing which would appeal to the general public and could help to renew interest in the sport for the youth of today. “There seems to be a generation gap, nearly everyone over the age of 40 knows about pigeon racing, however the majority of people under 30 don’t seem to know that people even race pigeons”, said Jarrod.

Jarrod and Craig filmed in Australia, England, South Africa and of course Belgium. They spoke to various icons of this great sport such as Louis Janssen, the late Carlo Napolitano (Queen Elizabeth II's loft manager) and attended the South African Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon Race.

After 5 years in the making, the Boord Brothers are looking for an agent and/or a distributor for a television network release. To get an agent on board they need as many followers for their movie as possible on both their Facebook site and YouTube. If you know any film distributors or film agents, please pass this information on to them. “If we can get enough followers and support for the movie, we will be able to find a distributor for TV and then everyone will be able to see it for free and I am hoping the whole world will once again embrace this fantastic sport of pigeon racing and bring it back to life”, says Jarrod.

The documentary is not available yet on DVD. We are searching for a distributor and agent or a network to take on the film. The producers would like to have it broadcast on TV before releasing it on DVD as they would like everyone to see it, not just pigeon fanciers.

Well the film is finally finished, and the MA complete.

The editing process started out as a bit of a nightmare. I had so much footage it was hard to know where to start and how to put the piece together. I ended up transcribing most of the interviews and from there identified the recurring themes which helped to form a basic structure for the piece.

Once I’d worked out the structure it all started to fall into place and I really enjoyed the editing process. Taking into consideration the limitations I had – relatively basic equipment (in particular, no zoom lens) and no real budget, I’m pretty pleased with the end result. I just hope it can help me get a job!
