About me
Hi, I am Max, a Dubai-based award-winning director with background in advertisement. I shot a film that won me 13 awards, a TV series, filmed commercials and corporates. I am in it since 1993, editing, filming, doing motion graphics, sound design, screenwriting and constantly learning. I love creative ideas, I go for the story, I had won awards myself and helped businesses and filmmakers to get their projects off the ground. Looking forward to help you with yours!Referees:
These young professionals have exactly the kind of spirit talent and work ethic that you need for your next production. I have been in the business for just over 50 years and I am deeply impressed with this young couple and would recommend them to anyone looking to up level their business or next project. - GEOFFREY GIULIANO, Actor, Author, removed , +66 (0) removed IMDb link: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0321325/?ref_=nv_sr_1
