A Story The
World Is Ready For

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 real question isn't what Telisha sees… but why she chooses not to see it."— From the Script, Knock Knock Draft 5

Knock Knock — The Performance of Perfection
The World

Meet The
Characters

The Performer
Telisha

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.

The Truth Teller
Brin

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.

The Illusion
Isaac

Charming, controlling, unsettling beneath the surface. To Telisha he's everything. To everyone else — something feels deeply wrong.

The Bathroom Scene Beauty · Fragrance · Hair · Skincare

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.

From The Script — 4 scripted moments · Most product-rich scene
INT. BATHROOM – OPENING
"She lines them up on the counter. Each one chosen. Each one part of the performance."
INT. VANITY – CLOSE UP
"The perfume. One spray. Behind each ear. Like a ritual."
INT. BATHROOM – MIRROR
"She looks at herself. Then at her reflection. They both smile."
INT. BATHROOM – FINAL LOOK
"She uncaps the lipstick. Last thing before she opens the door."

The Red Lipstick Beauty · Cosmetics

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.

From The Script — 5 script appearances · Most repeated prop in the film
INT. BATHROOM – NIGHT
"She uncaps the lipstick. Draws it across her bottom lip. Slow. Deliberate. Like a promise."
INT. VANITY – LATER
"Brin picks it up. Turns it in her fingers. Applies it without a word."
INT. DINING ROOM – NIGHT
"Telisha reapplies at the table. Isaac watches. Brin watches Telisha."
INT. HALLWAY – NIGHT
"Brin applies the same lipstick — almost sensually. Something has shifted."
INT. APARTMENT – END
"Lipstick smeared. Everyone. The room tells the whole story."

The Wine Pour Beverage · Spirits

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.

From The Script — 3 pivotal script moments
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
"Isaac opens the wine. The label catches the light. He hands the first glass to Brin."
INT. DINING ROOM – NIGHT

Brand FAQ

Questions
Brands Ask

How is my brand protected in the final cut?+
All placements are contractually agreed upon before principal photography begins. You'll receive a placement agreement detailing exactly where your product appears, how it's used, and what creative approvals you retain. No brand can be edited out or repositioned without your consent.
What metrics or reporting will I receive?+
Partners receive a post-production brand report including scene-by-scene placement confirmation, social post performance data, festival screening audience estimates, and press coverage featuring your brand.
Can I customize a package?+
Absolutely. Reach out directly to Michelle at michelle@seedfieldstudios.com and we'll build a custom package around your specific objectives and budget.
Will my brand be featured at festival screenings?+
Tier 2 and above include festival presence — red carpet branding, signage, and acknowledgment at every screening. Tier 1 partners are headline sponsors of all premiere events and travel the full festival circuit with the film.
What is the timeline for finalizing a partnership?+
Brand partnerships must be finalized before pre-production begins in May 2026. Set design and wardrobe placements must be locked by April 2026. Several scenes are already generating interest — reach out now.
What makes this different from a typical ad placement?+
Your brand isn't interrupting the story — it IS the story. Every placement is written into the script and serves the narrative. Audiences remember what Telisha wears, what she drinks, what her apartment looks like. That's cultural embedding — and it travels with the film for its entire life.
Can I request the full script?+
Yes. Email michelle@seedfieldstudios.com with your brand name and the scene you're interested in. We'll send the relevant pages within 48 hours.
