The film is also produced by Tusk, Adam Kopp, Liz Siegal and Japonica Films.
So he called me.
I told my partner Kameryn [Stanhouse] about it, and she was really interested as well.

I want to do this with you.
Glorias truce to forgive Sophie involves Sophie cooking Gloria dinner.
There is nothing more surreal than being championed by a literal world champion.
Shes the perfect teammate.
How did you arrive at the corner fakeout scene?
She would call me, fill me in.
I would FaceTime in just to hear how things were going and that sort of thing.
I think that shooting football is really difficult.
I dont think anyone has done it really, really well personally.
DEADLINE:Do the girls playing styles reflect like how they act in real life?
DEADLINE:Is there a scene that you relate most to in the film after seeing the full cut?
I just think that the line that Gloria says Its hard to be real.
I think that a lot of queer people will probably relate to that moment in that line.
I think its beautiful.
DEADLINE:This film takes place in Spain.
Rita inspired them to write the character of Gloria and then she later starred as Gloria.
It was just a coincidence that Spain won the World Cup last summer.
You know, obviously U.S., we tried to do it, but they were just better.
DEADLINE:This is a new chapter for you and just the beginning.
What else are you hoping to do that this experience has opened your eyes to after retiring?
OHARA:We want to build out OHouse productions.
So going to continue down this road in the production space and the entertainment space.
DEADLINE:Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe are adapting that Cleat Cute story.
OHARA:I think that it depends on what youre interested in.
For me, I know the sport and the film world are global unifiers.
OHARA:I want to see more premium content around womens soccer and womens sports.
I think that the audience is fiending for it.
Honestly, I dont know a better way to say it.
And I think that if you go and look at Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Its all-male sports and male athletes that have premium content coverage.
DEADLINE:Are you going to be in Tribeca for the films premiere?
OHARA:The premieres already sold out.
It sold out within seconds.
I will be in town for Tribeca, which Im excited about, being able to attend the premiere.
Somehow the schedules aligned.
Were getting the whole, the whole team out here to be together and to just celebrate this moment.
And then also, the purpose of the short is to get a feature made.
Tusk has already written a feature and so our next step is finding funding and getting that financed.
