Director Statement I wanted to write and direct something that is very personal. My brothers and I all played soccer at the club where this film takes place, so I really knew the world. This story was inspired by my younger brother Lucas and his best friend Malik, who both star in the film and can be heard rapping in all of the film's music. As a first time director it was important to me to try and tell the story as close to reality as possible, so even though Malik and Lucas had never acted before, we all worked together in order to create a film that felt true.
