Short description
As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her love of music and her fear of abandoning her parents.
What's left behind the scenes
- Emilia Jones spent nine months learning American Sign Language, taking singing lessons, and learning to operate a fishing trawler.
- The fishing scenes were filmed on location, so the actors and crew had to follow local regulations. On one filming day, they even had to bring an observer for the open sea shoot, which meant someone from the crew had to stay ashore, as the trawler could only accommodate a limited number of people.
- Troy Kotsur became the first deaf actor to win an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category. Marlee Matlin, who played his wife in the film, became the first deaf actress to win an Oscar in the Best Actress category 35 years ago. This happened at the 59th Academy Awards ceremony on March 30, 1987, when the award went to Randa Haines' "Children of a Lesser God" (1986).
- The interpreters on set were exclusively children of deaf parents.
- In addition to the acronym "CODA" meaning "child of deaf adults" in English, the word also denotes the concluding part of a musical piece. The "coda" symbol can be seen on the page of musical symbols in Ruby's teaching scene.
