This is very admirable, and an interesting subject matter to take on. It's impressive that the writer studied ASL to prep for the film - more people really should learn it.

I learned ASL from a couple friends that are hearing impaired. I like that the writer learned it to be able to talk with them. Most can read lips, but still a great thing to do. I'll watch it.

I'm hearing impaired myself and I had no idea there was a deaf UFC player and this is absolutely really cool to see. I just learned basic sign language last year and I should learn more.. I grew up in the hearing world and went through mainstream schools and can speak clearly like a hearing person and I rely on lip reading. Since I'm going through a struggle with school and what the hell I want to do with my life, this is really inspiring to watch and gives me a sense of pushing myself to complete my goals. I was surprised there are 6.5 million deaf people. Shit. Thanks for showing this!

My pleasure! I hope it is a big film, but I'm guessing it'll be like Murderball was. Maybe it'll get more publicity as they create it all and get the word out.

This is really cool. It's a great idea, reminds me of when i was younger as a kid there was a tv show that showed kid's cartoons that every week would have a guest performing lip reads and sing language during the interviews and cartoons (in a box in the corner) for the hearing impaired kids to enjoy the show aswel. Hopefully the film goes quite well.

I remember that type of show. Now they use closed captioning.

I hope it does too. I like the idea of captioning for both audiences.
