Chroma has revealed the official trailer for an indie thriller film titled Decibel, the second feature directed by producer / filmmaker Zac Locke. After originally premiering at a few genre film festivals last year, it's now set for US release on VOD starting in November this fall. "Decibel is exactly the kind of daring, inventive story Chroma stands for." Locke explains more of his intent: "We set out to make a film that's as thrilling as it is thought-provoking, exploring what happens when art and technology collide." She's not just listening… 🎧 What is she doing? When a struggling singer-songwriter gets the opportunity of a lifetime to work with a tech-obsessed music producer, her art and life are put in peril as she is forced to help create the perfect AI music algorithm. The tech horror-thriller stars Aleyse Shannon, Stefanie Estes, and Colby Groves. It looks like it has some intriguing ideas, but won't amount to much. Less about AI more about a vicious producer trying to utilize this musician for her benefit. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Zac Locke's sci-fi thriller Decibel, direct from YouTube : Decibel follows a struggling singer-songwriter named Scout (Aleyse Shannon) who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to work with a tech-obsessed music producer.
