Robert Knight is the subject of movie by director John Chester, Rock Prophecies, which explores Robert’s amazing career and follows him on his quest to help the bands of today become the Rock legends of tomorrow, whether promoting Panic at the Disco before anybody has heard of them, or convincing Aussie band Sick Puppies to sell everything and move to the United States. When Robert stumbles upon Tyler Dow Bryant – a 16-year old guitar phenom from Texas – he’s convinced he may have found the next Stevie Ray Vaughan. Robert risks his reputation and career and takes a chance on Tyler. The two then set off on an unbelievable journey to take their own shot at making history.
 Rock Prophecies was a 2009 winner of Audience Awards at the AFI Dallas Film Festival, Nashville Film Festival and Maui Film Festival.
