American Boychoir School Featured in New Dustin Hoffman Movie

Dante Soriano is a fourth year student at the American Boychoir School. He once wanted to be an accountant, but now thinks maybe he'll switch to acting. Dante was cast as the lead character's best friend in the new film by Francois Girard, "Boychoir." It premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend. Producer Susan Wallner spoke to Dante and the American Boychoir School's Litton-Lodal Music Director, Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, who also appears in the film. It was the second day of school, but no fear - the Boychoir School accepts new students throughout the year - as long as they love to sing.
