Knok Studio (Knok) is a film studio and charitable organization[6] located in Seattle and Enumclaw, Washington state producing media for non-profit 501(c)3 organizations in the Pacific Northwest as well as internationally.

History

[edit]

In 2011 Beau Chevassus returned from serving as the videographer aboard Mercy Ships in Sierra Leone. At this time, Mercy Ships had a media team; however, Chevassus noted the equipment, craft, and long-term commitment of conventional for-profit media studios or independent filmmakers were unaffordable for conventional non-profits.[7] This situation arose because Mercy Ships had hired Chevassus as their videographer, but they required him to raise his own support because the non-profit group could not afford a staff videographer.[8] Knok Studio was established in 2011 to meet the needs of accessibility and cinematic storytelling for non-profit organizations.[9]

Awards

[edit]

Knok is the production company involved in winning the 168 Film Project Evangelista Award (2013) out of 7 nominations and 84 total film entries.[10][11][12] Knok Studio's founder, Chevassus,[13] has won multiple awards,[14] including the Jury Award for Short Experimental Film, As Vapour (2012), in the Show Me Justice Film Festival,[15] and is responsible for viral video content published on YouTube.[16]
