About Max
I’m a freelance storyteller and video editor who helps purpose-driven teams turn raw footage into emotionally resonant stories that don’t just look polished. They feel right.
Clients come to me when the stakes are high, timelines are tight, and the story still feels a little unclear. I bring calm to the process by helping teams find clarity, shape the emotional arc, and deliver a message that connects with authenticity and impact.
Whether we’re building a donor appeal, a brand anthem, or a documentary short, I serve as a narrative partner. I help clarify intent, anticipate how the audience will respond, and craft edits that align with both the message and the emotion behind it. My goal is to make sure the story works in every sense, not just that it looks good.
You’ll find my work behind award-winning projects for clients like Convoy of Hope, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Westfall Gold. I move quickly without rushing, think creatively while staying focused, and bring sharp emotional instincts to every frame. With experience across both production and post, I have the range to stay aligned with the big picture while refining the smallest details.
