Entry 3 (of 10)_ Christopher Knight's short film "Schrodinger's Bedroom"

Christopher Knight is a filmmaker, blogger, libertarian political activist and occasional substitute teacher who is based in Reidsville, NC, where he filmed this short film "Schrodinger's Bedroom" for the Fox TV show "On the Lot."

Knight gained national recognition for his "Star Wars"-themed campaign commercial when he attempted to gain a seat on the Rockingham County School Board in 2006. He was even part of a "New York Times" article about three over-the-top ads from three separate candidates for the school board in Rockingham County.

Knight's commercial aired on both VH-1 and E! When Knight himself posted the commercial as it aired on VH-1 on Youtube, the video was taken down as an alleged 'copyright violation.' Knight complained because the commercial was his to begin with. Amazingly enough, Knight won!

Knight recently tried to help fellow Rockingham County School Board candidate and fellow libertarian Eric Smith (who had a Pink Floyd-theme school board ad) become the Republican nomination for a state office.
