Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s latest film “Chime” has been announced as completed and a teaser visual has been released.
The film is the first of Roadstead’s original works, a media distribution platform, and is scheduled for sale in 2024 through the DVT (Digital Video Trading) system, which allows for resale or rental to third parties. The film was produced from an original screenplay by Kurosawa, based on an order to “create the work freely,” and stars Mutsuo Yoshioka in the lead role.
The main character Matsuoka, who works as an instructor at a cooking school, is in the middle of a lesson when one of his students, Ichiro Tashiro, makes a suspicious comment to him that “someone is sending me messages with a chime-like sound” and “half of my brain has been replaced and I am a machine,” and then bizarre fears begin to seep into his daily life. The film is “neither horror nor suspense, but a completely new genre of film.
The teaser visual released today shows Yoshioka standing on a street at night.
