My Services

Producer / Showrunner

As Producer & Showrunner, I am responsible for overseeing an entire project life-cycle, from concept through video production, post-production, review, and launch phases. I deliver end to end production capability through my service production company. I staff each production unique for each job and only enroll passionate people who go the extra mile.

Director

I traveled to more than 30 countries across the globe producing & directing content. My focus is on branded content, factual entertainment, and documentary. Films I´ve directed have won several awards such as the New York Festivals and Telly Award. My work was honored by the streamy awards and screened by numerous top film-festivals around the globe.

Interests & Skills

I have a passion for social impact, technology, music, dance, urban culture, and action sports.  I have a track record of cross-functional leadership, impeccable organizational and project management skills, a high level of accountability, a knack for creative problem solving, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced creative team environment.

Brand & Marketing Teams

Through the last ten years, I have worked closely with brand & growth marketing teams for startups and global brands. I understand each department’s specific needs and can translate those into my productions.

Strategy & Content Marketing

I help clients create and execute an editorial content strategy to attract and convert prospects into customers and produce content that builds brand equity.

Development & Distribution

I use data and consumer research to develop insights driven creative ideas for brands. I help marketing teams with content distribution through paid strategies and by making deals with 3rd party digital publishers.

Gabor Harrach

Max possesses a remarkable capacity as a visual artist, a natural understanding of branded entertainment, culture and the digital space. His level of skill and accomplishment places him on a higher level than most of the people in his industry. I am consistently blown away by his level of technical mastery and his ability to anticipate and solve problems.

Philipp Manderla

Max is extremly versatile and producing content allows him to combine many of his skills. Max gets things done, efficiently, dedicated, highly motivated and super professional.  I can highly recommend Max as a producer of great content produced in line with the highest creative and technical standards.

Teresa Orsolini

This is the guy you hire when you want people to fall in love with your brand. To say Max is creative is an understatement. He constantly challenged us to think outside the box, conceiving of mind and heart-opening ideas, some wild but all truly unique. More importantly, he understood what drove the business and walked that line well without diluting creative output.

Raluca Simiuc

Max is a great Producer with the right combination of vision / creativity and pragmatism / hands on attitude. Beyond that, I consider Max a very strong project manager, a good marketer who feels & breaths the brand and not at least a “home grown social entrepreneur”.
