About

Hello. I am Max. I am a Los Angeles-based writer/director/producer working in both fiction and documentary. I like to work on cool stuff with cool people - you are more than welcome to ask me about it.

Before coming to Los Angeles, I earned my MFA in directing from Columbia, where I also taught undergraduate filmmaking. Before that, I studied history and documentary film at Harvard, where I performed with the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Surprisingly, I was awarded the Jonathan Levy Award for most promising actor at the university (an award which I’ve subsequently done nothing with).

I like basketball. I don’t like velcro. Thanks for stopping by!
