Their first release was , which Agron produced, wrote, and starred in as lead Michael, a man who loses sense of time.[4] Critics said that, while the film borrows from other works of the genre, Agron's screenwriting was good, though not his acting.[5] [6]

Agron will play the lead in the upcoming film Altered Reality, which he also wrote and produced.[7] [8]

K Street have released films including Alex & Eve, Last Call, and documentary And The Winner Isn't...,[9] which Agron also produced.[7]
