Help Us Film the Pilot Episode of “Netball” — A Netball Comedy About Misfits, Mayhem, and Second Chances

They’ve got mismatched shoes, no cardio, and zero coordination—but they’ve got each other.

We’re raising funds to shoot the pilot of “Netball,” a hilarious and heartwarming sports comedy mini-series about a ragtag crew of underdogs trying to save their struggling community gym in Wellington, New Zealand—by entering a local netball tournament they have no business competing in.

From ex-bowlers and part-time baristas to a mum with anger issues and a washed-up former pro, this unlikely team must come together, learn the rules (and how to run without falling over), and find out what it really means to play as one.

Think The Office meets Cool Runnings, with a kiwi twist.

Why We Need Your Support

We’re aiming to raise $25,000 to produce a professional-quality pilot that will serve as our pitch to networks and streamers. Your contributions will fund:

• Filming on location in Wellington – think courts, cafes, and community halls

• Casting top comedic talent from across Aotearoa & Australia

• Authentic netball gear, uniforms, and tournament setups

• Cinematography and editing that match the energy of fast-paced comedy

• Soundtrack licensing, insurance, and catering (we all know snacks are key)

We want this to be laugh-out-loud funny, but with a real heart behind it—and your support can make that happen.

Perks for Supporters

We’re offering everything from:

• Shoutouts in the credits and behind-the-scenes bloopers

• Team “Full Court Mess” merch (jerseys, wristbands, tote bags)

• Signed script pages, netball “training plans,” and more

Why This Story Matters

“Netball” is about friendship, failure, and the power of community. It’s for anyone who’s ever been picked last, tripped over their own shoelaces, or tried their best when they had no clue what they were doing.

It’s a love letter to local heroes—and to netball, the greatest sport you've never played.
