Life's A Game...

Ghoomer discusses how ‘losers’ suffer as a result of the pressure to prove themselves... What do you have to say about the emotional abuse that people have to endure?

Everyone should understand that as long as there is life, there will be struggle. If you want to achieve anything in life, you must make sacrifices. This is also a theme in our film. The most important thing is to make a sacrifice. That, I believe, is a life lesson as well. You see, in order to gain something, you must first lose something.

What was the most difficult aspect of the film?

My character was probably the most difficult aspect for me. He is the polar opposite of what a coach should be. He’s not a particularly likeable character. He’s nasty, drunk, brash, and insensitive. Nothing about him is inspirational. It fascinates me that someone who is mostly unsuitable for coaching becomes a coach. That conflict piqued my interest. I thought it would be fun and challenging to play such a character.
