Knok Studio (Knok) is a film studio and charitable organization[4] 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
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.[5] This was based upon the fact that Mercy Ships had hired Chevassus as their videographer, however they had required Chevassus to raise his own support due to the non-profit's inability to afford a staffed videographer.[6] Knok Studio was established in 2011 to meet the needs of accessibility and cinematic storytelling for non-profit organizations.[7]
Awards
Knok is the production company involved in winning the 168 Film Project Evangelista Award (2013) out of 7 nominations and 84 total film entries.[8][9][10] Knok Studio's founder, Chevassus, has won multiple awards,[11] including the Jury Award for Short Experimental Film, As Vapour (2012), in the Show Me Justice Film Festival,[12] and is responsible for viral video content published on YouTube.[13]
