BATON

Baton follows a soccer player (Ramirez), relentlessly pursuing his dream of playing professionally, who threatens his relationship with his sister after he is kicked off the team and exiled back to Miami. As they battle over their mother’s legacy, he will stop at nothing to get another chance at soccer glory, even if it means losing the only family he has left.

​

Written by Ramirez, who played college soccer before launching his acting career, the film’s cast includes Maia Reficco (La Dolce Villa), Diego Calva (Babylons), Camila Mendes (Do Revenge), Mia Maestro (Motorcycle Diaries), Ester Expósito (Elite), Becky G (Blue Beetle), Noah Beck (Sidelined), and Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts).

The project is currently being presented at the EFM (European Film Market) to secure international distribution.

The timing is strategic : the release is planned to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup to capitalize on the global excitement surrounding soccer.
