Introduction by Joe Swanberg with Q&A to follow featuring Ember Knight and Dino Stamatopolous
Quoted as a mashup of “Mr. Rogers and Jackass” (VICE), cult webseries “The Ember Knight Show” is an instructional etiquette program that quickly devolves into a stream-of-consciousness romp through its host’s worst behavior.
Made by a group of friends for less than $8K, the series blends guerrilla filmmaking, handmade sets, animation, and musical breakdowns into something endlessly inventive and brimming with style and wit.
The series has been featured on Adult Swim, NoBudge and Eternal Family, and received the Audience Choice Award at Slamdance 2022. Co-starring Dino Stamatopolous, Vera Drew, Haley Dahl, Orin Calcagn and Eamon Shea.
