Ruby is the only one in her family who can hear. The film is around Ruby, played by Emilia Jones, who is a child of deaf adults, or CODA. CODA is expected to gain widespread critical acclaim and may perhaps be nominated for an Academy Award later this year, as evidenced by its excellent performance at Sundance. Apple paid a record-breaking $25 million for the film. The film was well-received at Sundance, and it won the Grand Jury Prize. It was initially screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2021.

She was great to work with, to collaborate with, and it was so exciting. “She very much was at ease working with us even though there may have been some times where we might have creatively been on different planes, we were able to talk it out. She’s everything that you would want in a director,” Matlin says. I really feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Sian. I really just wanted to jump into the film. “When I found out she was directing this, I thought it was a no-brainer for me. Matlin calls Heder “one of the very, very few - if not out of three or four people who have directed me - that really understood the actor in me.” The Oscar winner was a fan of Heder’s previous film “Tallulah,” which premiered at Sundance in 2016. And of course, we had wonderful interpreters who were there to jump in and help, but I think that was an important part of the process.” And it was really helpful for us, I think, to forge that strong connection and trust between us.
“We all kind of brainstormed after the first day, and I said, ‘Is it OK if I come up and I give you notes directly? My signing might be all over the place and terrible, but I’m going to do my best,'” she shares. While there were interpreters on set, Heder wanted to have a “direct connection” with her actors. Heder also learned ASL - half the film is in the language - to understand the world she was diving into and to better communicate with Matlin, Kotsur and Durant. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.” It was such an incredible experience for me. They were all so patient and I just fell in love with the language and I fell in love with them, and I’ve never felt so close to people ever in my life. Marlee and Troy took me under their wing, and me and Daniel would constantly talk about all sorts.
“But the minute I met Marlee, Daniel and Troy, we all just gelled,” she says. Jones spent nine months learning American Sign Language, but she was worried at first that she might not be able to connect with Matlin, Kotsur and Durant to capture the Rossis’ tight-knit bond.

Eugenio Derbez rounds out the cast as Mr. Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur play her working-class parents who can’t keep their hands off of each other, Jackie and Frank, respectively, and Daniel Durant plays her older brother Leo. The Rossis operate a fishing business in Gloucester, Mass., and have relied on Ruby to communicate with the rest of the world.

Tears aside, the group turned out to be a very happy family when “CODA” set a new record for highest price ever paid for a Sundance acquisition (nearly $25 million) when it was picked up by Apple TV Plus after competitive bidding that also included Netflix and Amazon, according to Variety.
