Knox's early life in South Florida was marked by a fascination with storytelling, as he began creating short films and animated cartoons from a young age. Inspired by the works of Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, he developed a talent for mimicry and an ear for dialogue. Growing up in a family rich in ethnic diversity, Knox's exposure to different cultures and languages likely contributed to his unique perspective and storytelling abilities.
As a teenager, Knox's love for writing was solidified by the works of authors like Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, who left a lasting impression on him. He began writing short stories and honing his craft, which would later serve as the foundation for his future projects.
During his undergraduate years, Knox continued to explore his creative side through theater, acting, and directing. He also participated in intercollegiate forensic competitions, demonstrating his versatility and range as a performer. After completing his undergraduate degree, Knox went on to pursue his graduate studies at the University of Southern California's School of Cinema/Television.
As a freelancer, Knox worked on various design and animation projects for clients such as MCI, Disney, Toshiba, Marriott Resorts, and several professional sports franchises. This experience likely provided him with valuable skills and connections that would benefit him in his future endeavors.
Knox's first feature film, "All Over Again," was released in 2000 and starred Robert Loggia, Craig T. Nelson, and John Amos. The film received critical acclaim and earned Knox the "Best Drama" award at the 2001 Santa Clarita International Film Festival. After a re-cut in 2007, the film was re-titled "Against Time" and released domestically on home video.
Throughout his career, Knox has developed stories and scripts for film and television, working with over eighteen independent film producers and completing projects across various genres. He has also worked on several video games and family-oriented projects, including the animated series "Fireflyz" and the feature film "Cat Tale."
