Description:

Khris, a talented young street musician, lives his life by the steady rhythm of his daily routine on his usual Los Angeles corner. His quiet, predictable world is anchored by his friendship with a local homeless man whose grounded wisdom offers Khris constant perspective. Everything changes when Khris discovers an abandoned walkie-talkie sitting on his spot. Suddenly, a mysterious female voice crackles through the static with a single, haunting question: “What is love?” Determined to find the person on the other end, Khris embarks on a journey across the city. The voice belongs to Kristina, a young woman navigating a long-term memory issue from a past accident. As she clings to fond memories of her father, Kristina searches to understand deep human connection. What begins as a curious exchange grows into a transformative relationship, proving that love is far more than a question; it is a statement.

11 roles

KhrisMale21-29 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

A street musician in Los Angeles, warm and quick-witted but guarded. Close with his mom and sister, estranged from his cheating father. Insecure about his songwriting despite a strong voice. His world shifts when he finds an abandoned walkie-talkie, and a mystery voice asks him, "What is love?" sending him on a search that becomes the emotional core of the film. Playful on the surface, wounded underneath.

KristinaFemale21-29 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Living with long-term memory loss from an accident that also affects her father. She introduces herself to Khris in person as "Kate" while separately reaching out anonymously over the radio, and neither he nor the audience realizes they're the same person until later. Sharp, deflecting, and controlling in conversation, but grieving underneath, terrified of forgetting the people she loves.

Karla (Khris's Mom)Female40-50 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Warm, funny, and protective, with an easy rapport at the family dinner table. Fiercely loyal to Khris but pushes him to reconcile with his estranged father, creating tension between them. Doesn't hold onto anger the way her son does, and tries to guide him toward forgiveness even when it isn't easy for either of them

Tristan (Khris' dad)Male40-50 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Estranged from Khris after cheating on Karla. Trying to reconnect, he asks Khris to be his best man at his wedding to Carla, a request Khris initially refuses. Patient, apologetic, and carrying visible guilt he doesn't always know how to express. His arc is about earning back trust he knows he doesn't automatically deserve.

Lila (Kristina's mom)Female40-50 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Carries guilt over not being as present a parent as Kristina's father was. Protective of Kristina but gives her space, teasing her gently about romance while staying emotionally raw about their fractured family history. Quietly devoted, trying to make up for the past without forcing her daughter to forgive her

Christopher (Kristina's dad)Male40-50 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Appears in flashback as a loving, philosophical father; his "What is love?" speech to young Kristina opens the film. In the present, he's a memory-care patient with severe long-term memory loss and, in his most devastating scene, no longer recognizes Kristina as his daughter, believing both his daughters died. Requires an actor who can pivot from gentle confusion to sudden anguish.

Alex (Kristina's older sister, overseas)Female28-35 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

A teacher living abroad, appearing only via video call and text. The more grounded, nagging-but-loving older sister who pushes Kristina to keep her doctor's appointments and reconnect with their father. Warm but blunt, carrying her own quiet grief from a distance she can't always close

Homeless man (Khris befriendsMale40-60 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Never named on the page, "Real pimps don't give out their real name." A wise, funny, almost mentor-like figure to Khris, full of sharp instincts about people despite claiming to know nothing. Gets a surprisingly tender solo scene with Kristina late in the film, encouraging her to reach out to Khris. Present in the film's final image, smiling as the two reunite

Carla (Tristan's fiancée)Female30-45 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

A brief but pointed role. Warm and eager to make a good impression on Khris at their first meeting, extending her hand to him even as he initially leaves it hanging. Represents the sensitive, still-raw subject of Tristan "moving on" after the affair, and the tension that creates for Khris

Jimmy (Open Mic/Club Host)Male40-55 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Owner and host of the club where Khris performs. Effusive, friendly, and familiar with both Kristina and Khris separately, without realizing they're connected. His casual mention of Khris's name in front of Kristina is what triggers her realization. Later franchises the club and hands it over to Khris, who renames it "Khris' Jam.

NurseFemale21-29 y.o.African-American White / Caucasian

Works at the memory care center. Compassionate and apologetic after a difficult outburst from Christopher, she delivers a gut-punch detail that he has recurring dreams of a daughter asking him what love is, tying his condition directly back to the film's central question. Small role, emotionally pivotal scene
