Cucuzza is a member of the Rackham Symphony Choir Board of Trustees
and is a singing member with the Choir. Tom was inspired by the potential
of multi-media choral presenations following Rackham Symphony Choir's
2006 performance of Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light with
simultaneous projection of Carl Dreyer's silent film masterpiece The
Passion of Joan of Arc. He approached his brother Robert in April
2006 with the idea of collaborating on a multi-media concert project
around Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man and Robert proposed the
idea of creating an original film. THE ARMED BOY is Tom's first project
as a film producer and first major collaboration with his brother, Robert.
Tom is a business consultant residing in Detroit, Michigan.
