FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Knight Studios Sets May 10th for Principal Photography of new TV series "Shadow Unit" with Full Clearance from SAG-AFTRA
Las Vegas, NV – Knight Studios, LLC is proud to announce the upcoming commencement of principal photography for the eagerly awaited TV series "Shadow Unit," slated to begin production on May 10th. This follows the clearance received from SAG-AFTRA under the SAG New Media Agreement.
Set against the dystopian backdrop of the year 2054, "Shadow Unit" centers on Isabella Kane, previously the formidable head of the infamous ransomware collective, Zero Dark. Following a life-shattering FBI raid, Kane is given a stark choice: serve a lengthy prison sentence or lead a team of ragtag former hackers in a bid to take down a devastating ransomware ring that has crippled the U.S. financial system. The series marries the thrill of cyber espionage and nation state cyber warfare with the moral complexities of redemption and betrayal, exploring the intricate dynamics between right and wrong.
"Our narrative is ambitious and poignant, reflecting the tumultuous world of cyber warfare where every action can tip the balance," explains Alissa Knight, Director and Executive Producer. "With Isabella Kane, we delve deep into the psyche of a leader torn between her past actions and her current mission to undo the chaos those actions helped create."
Melissa Knight, Executive Producer and Director of Photography, adds, "The visual language of 'Shadow Unit' will be a mirror to its thematic depth. We're crafting scenes that highlight the stark contrasts of a society on the brink of collapse, underscored by the intense personal struggles of our protagonists."
Andrew Arguello, also Director of Photography on the series adds, "Our approach aims to juxtapose the cold, digital interfaces of cyber operations with the very human, often messy emotions of our characters. It's about finding the beauty in the bleak, the human in the digital."
The series will feature talents such as Brian Sutherland, recognized for his roles in "Grimm" and "Pig," and Mia Marina, who will bring to life the complex characters entangled in this high-stakes narrative.
"Shadow Unit is a testament to the power of storytelling that resonates with contemporary issues and personal redemption. We are excited to bring this compelling series to audiences worldwide through a major streaming platform," said Brian Williams, Executive Producer. "This is a series that promises not only to entertain but to provoke thought about the implications of technology and personal agency."
"Shadow Unit" is set to premiere on a major streaming platform, promising to bring this high-stakes narrative to a wide audience. In partnership with Champ and Pepper, marketing assets including key art and sizzle reels are currently being developed to set the stage for what promises to be a cutting-edge series.
"Shadow Unit" is not just a story—it's an experience of what happens when the digital underworld meets personal redemption against a backdrop of societal collapse.
