This past year at the movies, the use of sign language has taken center stage. And several of those films that help embrace inclusivity of the deaf community have also made it to the Oscars.
And two best picture nominees,"CODA" and"Drive My Car," also utilize sign language.
"It was just a natural conclusion for the director. It wasn't being aware of inclusion or diversity; just someone who uses sign language as their natural first language," said Teruhisa Yamamoto, producer of"Drive My Car." Troy Kotsur could become the second deaf actor to win an Oscar, following in the footsteps of his co-star Marlee Matlin. Kotsur was also tasked with creating the Tuscan sign language for"The Mandalorian."
"Tuscan sign language really fits their environment, their clothing, and their use of heavy gloves so it's not easy to finger spell with those heavy gloves on. And they have a different way of thinking, and a way they gesture," said Kotsur."So ASL is a much higher level of language." "CODA," the Oscar-nominated film about a singing teenage daughter in a deaf family, is being developed as a stage musical by the Los Angeles-based Deaf West Theatre.
