Woodcut International entered a partnership with The Rob Knox Foundation to launch (K)nox: The Rob Knox Story.
(K)nox tells the story of the tragic murder of the actor Robert Knox, who was stabbed to death after filming his breakthrough role as Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Featuring interviews with family members, friends, and Harry Potter cast members, the documentary highlights the horror of knife crime and follows the police into investigation of the case.
Woodcut will serve as an international producer and worldwide TV distributor.
Aaron Truss, director and executive producer, The Rob Knox Foundation, remarked, “We at the Rob Knox Foundation are extremely happy to be partnering with Woodcut International and look forward to our journey together. Not only have Woodcut been involved with some great documentaries like Damilola: Death of a Ten Year Old, but they also understand the need for a film like this in today’s society. Knife crime especially in the UK is worse than ever, so we hope that this film will make an impact on people’s attitudes towards this horrific culture.”
Koulla Anastasi, commercial director at Woodcut International, commented, “It’s a privilege to be involved with this extraordinary documentary. This film pays homage to a young man whose legacy has shone a light on knife crime, and his fame in the Harry Potter movie has created a unique vehicle to draw attention to the soul destroying impact crimes of this nature have on so many lives.”
