Knights is an independent New Zealand security contractor. Studio and platform names indicate productions we have supported and do not imply endorsement or any ongoing commercial relationship.

An expensive laptop or power tool can be replaced in half an hour. A unique costume, prop or set piece may not be replaceable at all on the day production needs it.
Of everything a production is exposed to, delay is usually the most expensive. Guarding against it shapes how we work.
