Max has been seen in Tony and Audelco Award winning revivals, Emmy winning television series, and breakout indie films.
The Process
Ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS:
Every project exists where resources and vision overlap. What is the vision? The resources? How do we increase that real estate?
Extend the conversation beyond script and physical production. Who is your audience? How do you reach them? And how do you talk about your project in a way that makes them care?
Setting and managing expectations that can be realistically met (and ideally surpassed) is our superpower. What does a WIN actually look like for this project?
Create best in class content while having a good time doing it.
