Speaking about taking on the role, Gurney said: "Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives. In previous films, deaf and disabled characters have been portrayed in quite stereotypical ways."

Where have I seen Matthew Gurney? The actor and writer has appeared in Deaf Morning Club, Switch and Small World.

Lara Peake as Carly Brennan

Who is Carly? Carly is Daniel's daughter and is CODA, meaning she's hearing but born to deaf adults. Because of her dad's crime, she too was ostracised from the deaf community, and now is struggling financially when she crosses paths with her father once again.

Speaking about Carly's relationship with Daniel, Peake said: "Brennan's also not written to her or kept in touch while he's been in prison, and there’s this massive push-and-pull dynamic between the two trying to understand each other again."
