Meet Max
Max Woertendyke is an award winning producer and Founder of Noble Gas Media. A native New Yorker, he began his career as a Juilliard trained actor, cultivating extensive creative relationships and becoming the trusted collaborator of both established and upcoming talent. He is the regular producing partner of David Corenswet, Dane Elcar, and more.
Recipient of the Juilliard Career Advancement Fellowship and The Jonathan Madrigano Entrepreneurship Grant for his commitment to quality storytelling and enterprising spirit, Max has shepherded dozens of projects to completion – touching every aspect of the film funnel along the way, from initial concept to final delivery.
Recent notable projects include: Elcar's indie horror hit BRIGHTWOOD, award-winning REAL LIVE GIRL (dir. by Corenswet and written by Manon Gage), DESTINY (dir. by J. Anthony Roman), MILQUETOAST (dir. by Eliza Huberth, starring Vella Lovell and Kayhun Kim), and most recently WOMAN IN THE SKY, his own documentary about abstract expressionist Jon Schueler and his widow, Magda Salvesen who single handedly kept his legacy alive.
Max has been seen in Tony and Aurelco Award winning revivals, Emmy winning television series, and breakout indie films.
The Process
Ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS:
What’s the vision? The resources? Where do they overlap and how do we increase that real estate? What does a WIN look like for this specific project?
Extend the conversation beyond just physical production to essential issues such as audience acquisition, messaging, marketing and publicity.
Set and manage expectations that can be realistically met and ideally surpassed is our superpower. We never blow smoke up people’s asses, but we always support our people.
