CAPE TRIBULATION

Cindi Knapton cut her high school films with a razor blade and rubber cement but could not fathom how to parlay that into a career as an artist in film. She instead took her pre-visualizing skills to Berkeley, earned an architecture degree and worked around the world designing city planning, architectural and interiors projects, finally returning to the world of film via the Art Departments of STAR WARS EPISODE II & III, MATRIX REVOLUTIONS & RELOADED, and SUPERMAN RETURNS.

Her passion for female driven storylines particularly within the transcendent vehicles of comedy and science fiction fueled writing features: CAPE TRIBULATION a thriller based on her experience in the rainforests of Queensland, SANDRA’S GRACE a dark family dramedy that helped to resolve grief over the death of her father; and CHANGE-ABLE a YA Sci-Fi series set at a school for psychic teenagers at the Moons of Jupiter.

Cindi consistently presents the perspective of “the other” in any storyline and balances her love of technology with traditional indigenous wisdom.

In addition to mega-budget tent-poles, she has worked on a variety of web-series, shorts, and feature films as a producer, actor, audition taper, writer, 1st AD, UPM, SFX and VFX artist, sound recordist, camera operator, and most successfully Designing and Co-Producing the award-winning dramatic feature HATE CRIME. As an all-rounder, she appreciates every department on a film team.

Her current pilot, EXPERIO combines her experience as a clairvoyant teacher at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, an architect for twisted clients, her travels studying comparative religions and languages and her love of dramatic science fiction—particularly THE LEFTOVERS, STAR TREK and THE PRISONER.

She is a dual US/Australian citizen and looks forward to bringing her projects to Oz to work with beautiful locations, fabulous studios and world-class crews!
