“Raise Your Voice is a coming-of-age story centered around a small-town singer, brokenhearted by the death of her brother in a car crash,who had secretly submitted her for a summer session at a performing arts academy in Los Angeles. In the performing arts academy, she experiences a whole new way of life in the big city, far from the small town lifestyle she’s used to. The film will revolve around her efforts to confront her lack of formal classic training and deal with a romantic entanglement. Written by Carmen”
