Who makes them
Writer · Actor · Songwriter
Actor, songwriter, poet, playwright — and above all a father of four. Raised in a trailer park in Ames, Iowa, too young to understand poverty but old enough to understand love. Ten albums and EPs. He conceived Strung from his own years of service, and wrote His Name is Michael.
Founder · Director
Joseph Bezenek is an award-winning filmmaker whose work is rooted in collaboration, conviction, and emotionally ambitious storytelling. He founded 4est Films in 2015 and made his directorial debut with Strung, which earned twelve awards across eight festivals, including two Best First-Time Director honors. He later directed the company’s first feature film, His Name Is Michael.
KNOWN The non-profit arm of 4est Films
Support independent films that inspire hope, awaken purpose, and remind people what it means to be human.
Every great film begins with a story worth telling.
But independent films don’t exist without people who believe those stories deserve to be told.
Through our nonprofit organization, KNOWN, every donation directly helps bring meaningful films to life — from early development and production to post-production and worldwide release.
Our mission is simple
When you support KNOWN, you aren’t simply funding another movie. You’re helping preserve stories that may never be told otherwise.
Together, we’re building a library of films that can inspire generations.
Every supporter becomes part of the story
Every person who donates to KNOWN becomes part of the films they help create.
