Director Statement

This film was originally developed for the Chicago 48 Hour Film Project. Knock Knock is a testament to simplicity and kitchen sink filmmaking. With a skeleton crew, bare bones gear and minimal time, I wanted to create a piece that boiled fear down to some of its core tenets: deprivation of the senses and its inherent lead to feelings of isolation. Besides some minor audio fixes, the film remains untouched since the 48hour project.
