Speaker Reel Day #2
Your first reel starts here.
A cinematic speaker reel, filmed on a 1,000-seat broadcast stage and shaped frame by frame by Emmy Award winner Max Partain, so the moment a planner presses play, they see what you already are.

Speaker & Author
"He saw a need for speakers who didn't always get the stage footage they needed, and he freaking created it."
Michael Snyder
ADHD Coach & Keynote Speaker
“If you're a speaker working on your reel, Max is the one and only guy you need on your team. An Emmy winning filmmaker, and someone who genuinely cares about getting it right for you.”
Vikki Lange
Corporate Keynote Speaker
“I had someone ask me about you Max, and they said they couldn’t afford you. I told them they can’t afford not to!”

"Do you have footage of you speaking?"
Speaker Reel Day solves that problem.
And makes you look like the best version of yourself in the process.
I'm an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker. I've spent my career in edit suites deciding which moments deserve to survive, including six years following a world-class orchestra conductor for a feature documentary.
Along the way I noticed something about speakers: the best ones almost never had footage that matched their talent. They were winning rooms and losing inboxes. So I built the thing I kept wishing existed: a broadcast stage, a real audience, and a director whose whole job is pulling your best ten minutes out of you.
"I help speakers figure out the optimal version of themselves to put in front of a buyer. And then I cut it."

Is this for you?
YES, if you are:
A speaker with a real story and a keynote you believe in
Ready to be booked on bigger stages at better fees
Able to be in Naperville, IL on September 8
Willing to prepare: a script, coaching, and a timed run-through before you step on stage
Ready to invest in proof that pays for itself with one booking
This is STILL for you even if:
You've never been professionally filmed (you're exactly who this day was built for)
You have old footage you're unsure about (we can weave the good parts in)
You get nervous on camera (that's what the coaching, the run-through, and a director in your corner are for)
Your story feels fuzzy right now (the positioning call happens before anything else)
It's time to take the stage.
See you on set. · Max
P.S. We keep the day at 15 speakers so every person gets a director's full attention on stage. Five spots remain, and booking closes August 18. The right time to build your proof was before your last three planner emails. The next best time is today.
P.P.S. As Vikki Lange put it after her day on the stage: "I had someone ask me about you Max, and they said they couldn't afford you. I told them they can't afford not to!"
