Anthony Roman), 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 Audelco 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.
