The Oscar-nominated documentary short film 'Audible' joins 'CODA' and 'Drive My Car' as films being recognized while featuring deaf characters. Executive producer and former 'Dancing with the Stars' champ Nyle DiMarco says they're 'standing on the tip of the iceberg' when it comes to stories highlighting the deaf community.
DiMarco and director Matthew Ogens are both from Maryland, and Ogens knew there was a story there.
The film also looks at the suicide of a former classmate named Teddy who had transferred to a different high school where he stood out for being deaf. "Just a fun fact: Deaf people actually are the creators of the huddle. It comes from the 1950s when deaf people started playing football against other teams and wanted to insure that their plays weren't visible," said DiMarco.
