Hi, I'm Max.
I’m a filmmaker, photographer and designer based in Regensburg, Germany.
And yes, I know that sounds like a lot of things. I just happen to really enjoy doing all of them.

And yes, I know that sounds like a lot of things. I just happen to really enjoy doing all of them.
I’ve been working creatively for more than 15 years, starting out in television at WDR and eventually finding my way into freelance work. Today, I help companies, brands and people turn ideas into films, photographs and visual stories.
I like projects that have a bit of personality. A good idea, interesting people, good food, beautiful light, a camera somewhere nearby — I’m usually happy.
Eine kleine Hommage an einen meiner Lieblingsfilme.
A little bit of me
After my time at WDR, I studied Sports Science, but somehow never really managed to stay away from cameras and editing suites. I made my own feature film, worked on international corporate projects and, despite all those years of experience, still sometimes feel just as chaotic as I did after finishing my apprenticeship.
I love travelling, cooking, being outdoors, running, discovering new places, connecting with people and learning things just because they seem interesting.
I may seem a little all over the place sometimes, but I like making things properly.
I’m happy to experiment, improvise and try something weird, but when it comes to the actual job, I’m organised, dependable and I care about getting things right.
Basically: I like having fun while making great work.
And I’m a big believer that those two things usually go pretty well together.

"Schörle Herb"
Von 2021 bis 2023 hatte ich das große Glück zusammen mit vielen Freunden meinen ersten Film in Spielfilmlänge produzieren zu können.
"Schörle Herb" ist eine Tragikkomödie, die in meiner unterfränkischen Heimat Volkach spielt und von der Konfrontation eines Rückkehrers mit seiner alten Heimat erzählt.
Der Film lief sehr erfolgreich in den regionalen Kinos und die Reaktionen der Menschen dort zu sehen, war unbezahlbar. Dieses Projekt hat mich nicht nur technisch und gestalterisch weitergebracht, sondern vor allem gezeigt, was alles möglich ist, wenn man sich voll in ein Projekt vertieft.
So konnten wir über die Ticketverkäufe über 10.000€ an Spendengeldern für unseren gemeinnützigen Verein "Give One Back e.V." einnehmen und damit Straßenkinder in Bangladesch unterstützen.
What you can expect
No complicated creative ego. No unnecessary fuss.
Just someone who listens, brings ideas to the table, gets stuck in when things get messy and genuinely cares about the result.
Whether you need one photograph, a full video production or someone who can somehow make the whole thing make sense — I’m up for it.
