Greetings! I am the writer, director of Sotto Voce, an original feature short. It tells the fictional story of a modern-day castrato (a term used to describe 18th and 19th-century male singers who were castrated as young boys to preserve their pre-pubescent singing voice.) For roughly 150 years, countless young boys (mostly Italian) were subjected to this cruel act and sent to special schools where a rare few became mega stars and fabulously wealthy.
What if this tradition didn't become extinct, but instead went underground and was the dark secret behind some of the world's most famous singers? What lines would you cross for great art? For a chance at global fame?
