Maverick Knox (he/him) is a fiercely independent filmmaker and screenwriter based in Nebraska, known for crafting genre-blending narratives on no-to-low budgets with a bold and unapologetic cinematic voice. His work spans psychological thrillers, grounded sci-fi, stylized drama, dark fantasy, and subversive takes on Greek mythology—often exploring themes of obsession, trauma, identity, and the volatile intersection of love and violence.
With a deep respect for traditional storytelling and classic film structure, Maverick creates emotionally charged stories that embrace the provocative, the taboo, and the transgressive. His characters are flawed, his settings intimate, and his plots fueled by tension that smolders just beneath the surface. Whether it's a decaying orphanage, a romantic mystery, or a cold-blooded revenge, his films are designed to haunt and disturb in equal measure.
Operating outside the studio system, Maverick directs with resourcefulness and precision—turning cellars into crucibles of suspense and iPhones into cinematic tools. He believes that powerful, resonant filmmaking doesn’t rely on massive budgets, but on vision, voice, and a willingness to confront the darkest parts of the human experience. His work champions the voices of outcasts, survivors, and those teetering on the edge.
