World Premiere

Though, Paul discovered a love for film from watching satirical movie reviews on Youtube. When Paul's friend told him about a screenwriting competition Paul wrote his first screenplay at 21 years old. Paul went on to win that screenwriting competition, had that film produced with the prize money, and had the film selected to premiere at Nickelodeon studios. Since that first script Paul has written, directed, and edited three short films. Paul's films have gotten better each time and he attributes this to all the movie reviews he watched making him self-critical and always striving to be better. Paul has recently moved from Ohio to California and is ready to continue making films in the big city.

Max has a love of heightened narratives that led to his descent into horror. His non-horror shorts range from a 50s dystopian drama, a PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK infused revenge film and a twisted breakup drama about rising jealousy between a couple in the art world.

His horror shorts began with two films created as part of the Straight 8 competition. One, a short about sacrificial sex set in the Sixties, and the other about murdering those who share your name for ultimate power. The latter film, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE, reached the London Premiere screening and has been released on Alter, the horror streaming channel.

Since then, Max and writer Alex Moran have developed horror-comedy short, RHYME OR DIE, where five strangers are forced to rhyme or get brutally murdered. The film was shot during the third UK lockdown. As none of the cast ever touch, they were able to shoot the film socially distanced. The lockdown also allowed them to shoot in a brand new and massive North London club venue that was yet to open to the public. It was a two-day shoot, with the rehearsals taking place online.
