CODA Star Explains Why Using Sign Language On Set Was So Special
Amy Forsyth, star of CODA, describes how special it was to use sign language on the set of the film. Directed by Sian Heder, CODA stars Emilia Jones as a child of deaf adults (CODA) who has to balance her own aspirations with her attempts to support her family's struggling business. After premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, Apple acquired the rights to the film for a record-breaking $25 million. It then saw a day-and-date release on Apple TV+ and in theaters on August 13, 2021 and has gone on to accumulate a range of awards nominations.
