“So … WHERE DOES YOUR NAME COME FROM Anyways?”

We get this one all the time. And no, it’s not a boating reference (though we’ll happily accept an invite to sail).

Tim, our founder and EP, has been a Muppets die-hard since forever—especially The Muppet Movie (1979). The creativity, the world-building, the characters? Unforgettable.

One scene really stuck: Gonzo, in a carnival, grabs a balloon and just... floats. No plan, no destination—just riding the wind wherever it takes him. That sense of adventure? The freedom to embrace the unexpected? That’s Seven Knots.

We bring the same spontaneity to filmmaking—letting stories unfold and staying open to creative surprises along the way. Whether it's a commercial, a feature, or something completely wild, we make space for the unexpected.
