@showrunher on Instagram ↗Telisha is determined to finally have the perfect relationship. She invites her best friend Brin to meet the man she believes has "healed" her — but as the night unfolds, it becomes clear that not everyone is seeing the same relationship.
"The room went completely silent at the transformation scene."
"People will be talking about this long after it ends."
"The room went completely silent at the transformation scene. That silence said everything."
"Made me think about my own dating journey and the people I've said yes to just to check a box."
"You feel for Telisha. She's like the friend you want to help but have to let go at their own pace."
"This is the mirror every woman in a situationship needs to look into."
"Every woman has been in a bad relationship. This is the story we needed someone to finally tell."
"I didn't expect to feel this seen in a table read. The writing is sharp and the story lands hard."
"It hits something real. People will be talking about this long after it ends."
Polished, ambitious, deeply romantic. She craves the image of a perfect relationship even if it means ignoring the truth. Her apartment — and her face — are entirely curated.
Confident, grounded, perceptive. Telisha's best friend and emotional anchor. As the night unfolds, Brin becomes the audience's lens — seeing the reality Telisha refuses to confront.
Charming, controlling, unsettling beneath the surface. To Telisha he's everything. To everyone else — something feels deeply wrong.
Our crew and cast bring a combined social audience of 250K+ — real, engaged communities ready to follow this story from set to screen to streaming.
This film doesn't just resonate — it reflects. Knock Knock speaks to women who have performed perfection in a relationship they knew wasn't right. That's not a niche. That's millions.

The film opens in Telisha's bathroom. She's getting ready — methodical, deliberate. The vanity tells you everything about who she is. Products on the counter. A mirror that shows two versions of her at once.
Perfume, skincare, haircare, body wash — every product on that vanity is a placement. This single scene supports 4–5 brand partners simultaneously.
Telisha slowly applies red lipstick in the mirror before guests arrive. Brin later finds the same basket and applies one almost sensually. By the film's end, lipstick is smeared across multiple characters — the film's defining visual motif.
The single most-repeated prop in the entire film. A beauty brand owns the visual identity of Knock Knock.
A pivotal tension scene centers on wine overflowing — a visual metaphor for the evening spiraling out of control. The bottle, the pour, the glass are central to this sequence.
The overflow is a story beat — the wine IS the drama. Natural fit for premium wine, spirits, or beverage brands.
The voice assistant "Donna" is scripted by name, controlling the apartment's music and atmosphere throughout the evening. The device is spoken to, interacted with, and central to the world Telisha has curated.
Rename "Donna" to your product. Your brand name is spoken by every character throughout the film.
Telisha's apartment is her identity made physical — every object curated, every surface intentional. The set is on screen for the entire film.
Your products are always in frame — the most sustained visual exposure in the film.

Your product at the heart of the film's central conflict. The dinner is where everything falls apart.
Three distinct archetypes expressed through clothing. Telisha's curated perfection. Brin's confident authenticity. Isaac's controlled charm.
