What is The History of Sound about?

Based on Ben Shattuck’s 2108 award-winning story, the film follows two men, Lionel (Mescal) and David (O’Connor) who set out to record the lives, voices and music of the men fighting during World War I – throughout the process, building a connection that brings an element of romance into the mix.

Who will star in The History of Sound?

So far, it has only been confirmed that Mescal and O'Connor will be starring in the upcoming film. Director Oliver Hermanus is thrilled to have the two actors on board, sharing in an interview; “Paul and Josh are two of the most promising actors of their generation who will share with us deeply soulful performances."

"This is an unexpected love story that needs to be told — it is a journey through the life of America, across the 20th century and the traditions of American folk music, all seen through the bond between two men immersed in the history of sound. This undeniably powerful story will certainly resonate with audiences the world over.”

The History of Sound is rumoured to begin filming next winter; stay tuned for more details to come.
