Matt Ogens new Netflix Original documentary AUDIBLE is an immersive coming-of-age story told from the perspective of Deaf high school students and communicated through sign language. Shaken by a friend's suicide, a Deaf high school football player copes with family and relationships while anticipating his final homecoming game. During our conversation Matt shares a terrifying experience  that changed his life. While being held up at gunpoint, instead of his life flashing before his eyes, it was the life that led the gunman to this point.
