Well that makes me feel lonely. I am one. Is it really that unknown?

My aunt who is 10 years older than me took a course for college in sign language and she would practice with me. Thus I learned some and so people wouldn't know what we were saying in public we would sign to each other I thought it was so fun. Then I happened to be in McDonald's playground and saw a deaf girl signing to her mom. I ended up playing with her and was able to sign with her and even though I was young just to see her face light up and her mother's smile of approval made me want to learn more sign language. There's a small percentage that's deaf people and such a large of hearing so to break that barrier for that child to be able to play with another child was beautiful. Now I am an adult and I have taught and am teaching both my 12 year old and 4 year old boys how to sign. This was a wonderful film!

I met my deaf friend when I was in grade 5, she was from the city and usually came to visit during school holidays. Other kids where scared of her and made fun of her because there were few next to no deaf people in our community. I forced myself to communicate with her through the sign language letters I saw from posts at my school, I remember she taught me other signs by writing down on the soil since we only met on the street and we would stand there for hours. We grew apart as we grew older because of college and varsity and distance. I remember meeting her again after years and the pain she felt when she saw that I forgot a few signs. I'm on that journey once more towards learning sign language further in order to help deaf people to live comfortably in our community. I hope to open a facility to help teach people sign language one day. Thanks to the paths that crossed with my deaf friend, she made me see the world differently.

They would rather act like actual dark skinned people don't even exist. So they don't care how we are represented and described or whether we are represented or described in the first place. That child is barely Princess Jasmine's *COLOR* (not her ethnicity) that's why she was brought up. People refer to her as "the dark skinned princess" even with Tiana in the picture now. Black people are not "dark" for being darker than Beyonce. That's regular Brown, that's regular Black people color and that girl in the movie is obviously not dark, she's simply brown.

Wow! Thirty years ago, I took a basic sign language class at my local community college. I've had many deaf friends over the years. They changed my life. The deaf world is a whole different world, and to have been a part of that world, and to have shared in that experience, has been very special to me and my wife. My wife took the same class I took, the following semester, and then went on to become a sign language interpreter. Learning to sign allowed us to share our lives with so many deaf people, who in turn invited us into their lives and really enriched our lives. It has been such an unique relationship for us that is hard to explain to "hearing" people.

And we understand why it is iffy for them to have hearing people coming into it, CODA or not. This film explained everything felt into this gorgeous cinematic story. Well done! We need a series 😩✨💙

Yes, that's it. They were showing the struggle she was having navigating both worlds beginning about age 6. It was then, she said that she realized there was a divide in the world (check out the conversation her parents were having about her). When she was a bit older, although she wanted to present as deaf to the hearing world, her mother encouraged her to use the abilities she did have. Effectively pushing her into the hearing world.

This was beautiful. Thank you for posting. As a hearing person, I never imagined what it must be like for those that don't and those that are CODA. This gave me some insight.

This was so gorgeous. The acting, the visuals, the sign, the dance, the music -- all combined to tell a beautiful story of trying to connect and to find our place in this world. And isn't that what we all are trying to do?

What an amazing concept. I’m glad KZread randomly recommended it to me. Now I’m subscribed

There are so many variations of the "be you" story, ranging from that of a big fat panda and now of a CODA. I find it very interesting that such seemingly simple expression could create countless stories of basically the same theme.

*LOVE* this - a ray of light, live and hope when I need it the most - trying desperately to get back to my life - which includes these awesome deaf women - so grateful to have them in my life - *intended* to practice my signing during lockdown, didnt quite happen that way - ALL of us - deserve to be treated with respect, with compassion, with love, with understanding - people are people - ALL of us deserve to be heard, listened to, understood

I am Deaf, but I grew up hearing before I lost all my hearing at twenty one. It was a scary thing and even before that, when I had hearing aids, I was stuck in between worlds. People thought that they needed to scream at me so I could hear them, and I was a joke to them. My Deaf ASL teacher didn't understand that despite having hearing aids, I could not fully hear or understand things. She used to get angry and upset with me in ASL class because I struggled to learn how to sign and the class was awful. She failed me on my final exam despite telling her I could not understand music very well without words in front of me. When I went deaf, I lost things that mattered, things I took for granted. I got a cochlear implant five years ago and it's changed my life. I don't have perfect hearing, I am not what people would consider a normal hearing person nor do I fit with the Deaf community. I've always been in between. It's been hard, I still struggle even now, despite adjusting so much faster and expected. There are times I still feel out of place and alone, there are limitations I face even with the implant. I can't do certain things as I used to which has led to problems, but I don't let that stop me. I adjust as best I can. I don't see it as a burden much anymore. I see it as a chance for my young family members to learn and understand. I may not know ASL, I may not be a perfect hearing person, but I struggle on, I try my best. Yes, it's frustrating at times, but life is like that. I was able to get something to help me and I'm grateful for it.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Why did she lie about being deaf to the guy at the beginning? Why couldn't she just say that she is hearing and her parents are the ones that are deaf which is why she knows sign language.

It was at the beginning of the film - she had not yet been able to work out who or what she was, which she has done by the end of the film.

What ? If she had signed she was hearing, the whole, misunderstanding, breakup, get together subplot would have disappeared. Why do you hate storytelling so much !?!? ;-)

She tried to, but hesitated and ending up not saying it bc it was hard and she wanted to belong. Her mother constantly went on about her being different, alienating her. She just wanted to be included in her culture and belong, despite her being different by being hearing. Also, I’m pretty sure she was fed up with being pushed away by Deaf people for being hearing. It can’t be the first time someone calls her ‘brave’ for showing up at Deaf events, ie telling her she’s got no business being part of it and brushing her off.

She isn't. If you didn't notice, Josh called her out on it when the other dancer saw her and commented on her being out. She wants to be in the deaf community because it's where her parents are, but she can hear, so that's why she's conflicted.

It was established from the beginning, she is not deaf. Her mother made several references to her being different from them and her brother, and also told her to use her voice. It was only 20 something minutes long, how did you not catch that?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Disney: another remake of an old movie The short film industry:

This is a world I know pretty much nothing about and didn't even know the term CODA so thank you for telling peoples' stories and expanding minds. I've been loving this Omeletto channel! It keeps showing romances that deal with very real and raw problems which is refreshing and moving.

1st of all: This is amazing 2nd: Why couldn't this have been a storyline on switched at birth, instead of the droll they gave us

lol and I’m in the middle of rewatching switched at birth rn. This definitely could’ve been a good storyline

Just full of humanity and humility. Creativity flows and talent sees no boundaries.

I actually wish this was like an 1hr long movie as it’s so good

Beautiful lady. Beautiful story. Hope for a complete and compassionate world.

This is amazing. I feel like i really got a message of how codas and deaf feel. Definitely touched my perspective as a human.

Oh my gosh! Like, when you just watch a video or a movie and you wish you could unseen just to have this pleasure to see it again? Definitely i'd like to unseen million of times this video! Beautiful, Beautiful, amazing! thank you Omeleto!!!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

They should make an actual full movie from this

Absolutely beautiful! I am CODA and this really brought me beautiful memories!😊

Its like someone slowly carefully creating something beautiful in the canvas.

A good short movie to start a day.

Took a sign language college course with my best friend about 15 years ago. We blissfully thought it was an easy class. The class was a wonderful experience and the deaf students were fantastic, patient and gracious. The class was so much more than just a class.

The "im deaf also" is so adorable

This has inspired me to go back to dancing... thank you. X 🙏🏽

Josh's introduction is so cute

This was amazing! Will this be on DVD in the future? Wow! I am an ASL Student. I studied at LAGCC and Lexington School for the Deaf.

Such a beautiful film!!! Ngl the age gap rly shocked me for a sec LOL Alex is 21 and Josh is 35 😳nevertheless, SPECTACULAR FILM!!

Wow and this came out before the 2021 Oscar nominated film. This story was beautiful.

Before she said it I thought to myself - not many people have had any reason to consider it but it’s impossible for anyone but a CODA to understand how you really ARE part of two fundamentally different worlds. And that’s really because it only really hit me when watching the scenes when she was little. I’ve never really thought about it with intensity. Obviously we know we grow up in both the deaf world and the hearing world and it is almost like stepping in and out of both at times but I don’t know, I’ve never really THOUGHT about it before. I enjoyed this film very much ❤

I just came home from a dance class and this popped out....I love the dancing movies, even better that there was a good plot

for a second i thought it was be like oh i can’t be with this deaf guy nc i love music and he can’t hear it. People really are naive to the fact that deaf people can just feel the music. Like their are deaf dancers lol

Yes, you are perfectly correct. I used to know a profoundly deaf ballerina, and even watched her dance once. Most deaf people DO relate to music, just in a different way to hearing folks. (I'm deaf myself.)

This Movie deserve an Award

being Deaf, not hearing or being a CODA. Let me tell you something Your human and you should ~BE YOU~ And I will still LOVE YOU!

omg... I relate to this a lot. When I was in elementary school we were forced to learn ASL (American sign language) I loved it. I had a lot of deaf friends and when they found out I was not deaf they turned. But I told them how much fun they are to hang out with during school. I told them later that I was hearing. They accepted me later and help learn more signs that I never knew of. My parents are hearing. Years later I moved away and forgot sign language and I want to learn again.

Nice work Erika! I love intimate, human stories with unique points of view. The use of sound and dance also highlights the theme of communication very well.

That little girl dancing is so cute! God 🤍🤍🤍
