Hire me as your Fractional Post-Creative Director—I manage your editors, fix broken cuts, and protect your deadlines.

What I do, in one sentence:

I take every video off your plate, coach your editors, and guarantee each cut is client-ready—so you can sell, shoot, and sleep.

    “Max is — gosh, where do I start — my secret weapon, honestly. I’ve been working with him for years and he’s about the best creative collaborator in post-production I could hope for. He brings something sparkly and amazing, and he does it astonishingly quickly. No ego. Just results. I plan my projects around including him.”

    “I was hesitant to outsource something this big, but Max made it painless. He got it right from the jump, understood our goals, and elevated the work. Fast, collaborative, and emotionally spot-on. That’s why I’m planning to build out more contracts with him.”

    Executive Director, Senior Producer | Westfall Gold

    I've been working with Max for about a year and a half now. Multiple edits, multiple clients, and he always delivers. He's a technician. Great with narrative. I love how he uses sound effects. And he weaves music in and out of the cuts, seamlessly. That always enhance the edit. But the thing I appreciate about Max the most is that he is highly organized. I will continue working with him
