An uplifting story of choirs discovering how to sing together safely during the pandemic. Join the director and producer in the first Boston area screening, as part of the Lonely Seal Film Festival.
'The Drive to Sing' is a new documentary about choirs during the pandemic and the importance of making music together.

This uplifting film has been accepted into 9 film festivals and was nominated for Best Documentary at Shawna Shea film festival in Worcester, MA. It is family-friendly and resonates with anyone who has sung in a choir. Join Marlborough-based director and producer, Bryce and Kathryn Denney, for the first public screening in the Boston area!
