SYNOPSIS

Set in 1977 Los Angeles, K155 is a sonic chamber piece about obsession, control, and the fragility of memory. When a wounded hopeless romantic named Jack Savage (Renan Pacheco) arrives at the home of his lover’s husband—a reclusive avant-garde composer named Garland Iris (Curtis Edward Jackson) —he becomes entangled in a ritual of surveillance and seduction orchestrated through analog sound. What begins as a confrontation unravels into something far stranger: a psychological duet where the boundaries between the desire for Dominique Iris (Sydney Schafer), authorship, and identity dissolve. Tape loops, broken melodies, and the ghost of a love triangle pulse beneath every glance and gesture. In this haunted domestic space, recording is power, playback is punishment, and silence is never empty. With minimal dialogue and maximal tension, K155 merges retro-futurist aesthetics with noir eroticism. Inspired by 70s experimental cinema and analog media culture, the film uses sound not just as atmosphere but as a weapon—turning love into frequency, jealousy into distortion, and memory into noise.
