Purple

Knoxy Films

Created over the worlds longest lockdown in Melbourne, Australia, Purple is a visual and sonic portrait of this shared, yet ultimately isolating experience. The film is unconventional in its production, and was created fluidly over 18 months. The shooting, sound design, music and editing were all workshopped in tandem, each element informing the other, resulting in a wholly collaborative piece.

Knox is the regular cinematographer for revered Australian director Tony Rogers (Wilfred & Rats and cats) and recent awards include winner of the 2021 Best Music Video at the ARIA’s’ and a Silver ACS award for his RMIT Commercial.
