Mean Goals is a great gay sports comedy from writer-director Ahuatl Amaro. The short film wears its eclectic influences on its jersey sleeve (that title is a nod to Mean Girls), but breaks new ground by featuring an all queer, Latine cast.
Tenoch (Abraham Rodriguez) joins an LGBTQ soccer team to bond with his dying father (Dave Silva) over their shared passion for the sport. But his desire to win his father’s approval is quickly eclipsed by a new obsession once he discovers the team is filled with mean soccer gays: he must now build a rival team to crush them at the Gay World Cup.
“Soccer, romance, locker room banter, and mean gays—this film has it all,” said star Abraham Rodriguez. “Mean Goals is unlike any sports comedy film out there as it combines comedy, action, and queer Latino leads all in one. It’s been a privilege to work with so many talented LGBTQ+ and POC actors and filmmakers.”
