What's left behind the scenes
- The role of Joe, the founder of a rehabilitation center for the deaf, is played by Paul Raci. Raci himself has hearing, while his parents are deaf.
- In scenes where Ruben tries to come to terms with the loss of hearing, Riz Ahmed wore earplugs that emitted white noise. After some time, he stopped using them and simply immersed himself in the role, communicating with the others through sign language.
- Riz Ahmed learned to play the drums for six months.
- There were no scenes in the script where Riz Ahmed's character plays the drums and teaches deaf children to do so.
- The script and main characters were taken from Derek Cianfrance's unfinished project “Metalhead” about a drummer who lost his hearing and had to get used to constant silence. Cianfrance’s film had been in post-production since 2009. The members of the band Jucifer, Edgar Livengood and Amber Valentine (playing themselves), starred in it. Darius Marder was one of the screenwriters for Cianfrance's crime drama “The Place Beyond the Pines” (2012). Cianfrance personally asked Marder to rework the script for “Metalhead”.
- The option to turn off subtitles can be disabled on the Amazon Prime website, but the filmmakers assumed that subtitles would be displayed throughout the film (as they were at the festival screening). They wanted hearing people to experience, even briefly, what it's like to be deaf or hard of hearing, who require subtitles to watch any movie or television show.
- Riz Ahmed learned sign language for the filming of the movie.
