KNOT

2025

After a coerced deal turns deadly, a woman balances on a tipped chair, a noose tightening around her neck. Her only hope? A loose knot binding her hands—if she can untie it in time.

Outline

Tess wakes in an abandoned warehouse, hands bound and a noose around her neck - punishment for being the unwitting scapegoat in a botched mob deal.

The door slams shut—an unseen mobster yanks a string, jerking the chair from under her. At the last second, she catches the chair's edge with her foot, balancing precariously.

The failed execution leaves her teetering—one slip and the noose chokes her dead. Discovering a loose knot at her wrists, she fights to untie herself—but every movement threatens her balance.

As her legs tremble and time runs out, Tess must outmaneuver the rope's grip before her strength fails.

Time slips. Strength fades.

Some knots hold longer than others.

Will this be the one that kills her—or the one that sets her free?

KNOT is pure visual cinema - a survival thriller stripped to its existential bones— drawing from 127 Hours' visceral tension, Concrete Island’s urban alienation and Buried's claustrophobic dread, this high-concept execution drops audiences into a breathless fight for survival from frame one.

Our warehouse becomes a Ballardian trap: a purgatory testing human resilience, the warehouse's concrete brutality amplifying our protagonist's isolation. This is genre filmmaking at its most universal: no language barrier, just raw human instinct versus impossible odds.

Every creak of rope, every tremor of muscle screaming louder than dialogue, to deliver white-knuckle thrills that grip global audiences by the throat.

It's cinema at its most universal, transforming industrial decay into a stage for primal struggle. The camera won’t just observe; it’ll throttle. A high-concept execution (literally) for global audiences, proving tension needs no translation.
