About Max

I'm a writer, producer, and marketing consultant for comic creators and screenwriters. I co-created the best-selling traditionally published comic series' IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT (Scout Comics) and LIQUID KILL (Whatnot/Massive Publishing) along with the non-fiction book INDIE COMIC EMPIRE: HOW TO MAKE & MARKET COMIC BOOKS STEP BY STEP.

Optioned Screenplay SHOTS to Incognito Motion Pictures in 2019. Produced Hindi thriller features HALFPACE (starring Filmfare award-winner Ruturaj Wankhede), PLUS MINUS, and TAPAK. Screenwriting finalist in the Slamdance Screenplay Competition and Screencraft Action/Thriller Contest 2017 for crime-action feature screenplay THE VINE.

Dark genre focused. Internationally focused. Continue to work directly with some of the best artists and filmmakers in the world.

Unique traits: "Fall Peak is a riveting horror/action script featuring well crafted chase sequences, the type of blood and gore that fans of the genre are known to flock to, and several unexpected plot turns. The writers’ knack and appreciation for the horror genre is on display from beginning to end." - Blood List Screenplay Coverage--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "(The Vine) is a very entertaining script. It displays a lot of visual imagination that comes off like an LSD-fueled version of 'No Country For Old Men.'" - Slamdance Screenplay Coverage
