Hey, I’m Max.
I make commercials and comedy with ideas I can’t leave alone.
I started Lore Alive Studios to turn those ideas into finished films. Since then, my work has played in Times Square, aired on national TV and reached millions of people online.
You work directly with me from the first conversation through the final edit. I write, direct and use AI to put the idea on screen.
