About me
I find it pretty difficult blabbing about myself, so I'm just posting my bio from my website, written by someone else :D"Maximón Monihan was raised in Seattle’s Central District. He was a regular installment in the city’s street kid/punk scene that served as the foundation for the classic documentary film "Streetwise" (in which he made an appearance). By the late-80s, he was sponsored by the legendary H-Street skateboard team and was featured in, and worked on, numerous landmark skate films, most notably "Shackle Me Not" and "Hokus Pokus". During this time Monihan earned a degree in Philosophy and Cultural Studies from University of California, Santa Cruz while concomitantly traveling throughout Europe, Asia, Central America and Africa as a professional skateboarder. Studying abroad meant that, while not skateboarding, he worked as a roaming research assistant for his renowned academic mentors, Professors Angela Davis, Akasha Hull, Roberto Crespi, and Herman Gray.
By the mid-90s, after being named "The Most Hated Skateboarder of All-Time" by Thrasher Magazine, Monihan relocated to Brooklyn, where he stopped skating professionally to instead make skate films for his former sponsors. He also began working as a film critic for Pseudo.com, the first ever online TV network. Monihan has shot a number of short films, online TV series and music videos for artists ranging from Prince Paul, Jean Grae, Talib Kweli, Thunderheist, Greg Nice and Kool Keith to Dead Kids, I.R.O.K., MC Paul Barman and Negroes On Ice. He met his wife, Sheena Matheiken, in 2009 and they have since worked as creative partners under the moniker, Bricolagista! Their award-winning debut feature film, LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS, was also Monihan's directorial feature debut and will be released theatrically in 2017. SEA TO SHINING SEA is his second feature and will be finished in 2017."
