Max is an award-winning filmmaker and videographer specialising in narrative storytelling, with experience across drama, documentary, educational, sports, and branded content. He has directed over 13 original short films, with multiple festival nominations and awards. In 2023, he worked as director of photography and editor on Daniel Kerr’s short film 'Your Move', which won Best Short Drama at the Swedish International Film Festival.

In 2023, Max co-founded the Scottish youth-led filmmaking organisation 'Next Take' alongside filmmakers Daniel Kerr and Archie Nelson. Next Take delivers filmmaking projects for young people, combining professional production with hands-on learning. Max has led the organisation’s largest projects to date, involving more than 200 community participants, and delivering over 110 workshops. His role extends beyond directing independent short films to mentoring and inspiring young filmmakers, helping them build confidence and practical skills within professionally structured productions. He has directed Next Take’s two largest films so far, 'Different Ways' and 'Piece of Mind', both of which have been screened across Scotland, with 'Piece of Mind' recently winning best screenplay at the Monthly Film Festival.

Alongside his narrative work, Max produces high-quality documentary and promotional content for organisations and has worked with Scouts Scotland, the Scottish FA, and North Ayrshire Council. His experience also extends to educational media, creating video resources for national music education programmes with Children’s Classic Concerts.
