Having a disability and trying to make it as an artist has to be tough. Then again, being non-disabled and trying to make it as an artist is tough on its own. I see this trailer and I could care less that they are deaf.

Stevie Wonder, Marlee Matlin, Alicia Alonso, Jose Feliciano and other disabled artists succeeded not because they focused on their disabilities but because they focused on their art. The trailer for this film seems a little too much like a pity party. I could care less if an artist is deaf, blind or whatever - all that matters to me is the fruit of their labor. By drawing attention to their disability, it makes me think they need to play to my sympathy to cover for their lack of talent.
