The Violin Case is Max’s debut feature film. Inspired by his father’s experience of losing his painting in a taxi, Max sought to tell a fictionalized account of the events. The story then follows struggling artist Theo who sets off on a one-night adventure to locate his artwork, accidentally forgotten in a taxi in Macau.

Max has made a name for himself by making award winning comedic and dramatic fictional shorts in Macau, Hong Kong and Singapore. They have screened at numerous festivals worldwide including Toronto (TIFF), New York, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Macau, Hong Kong, China and the Middle East.

Max and his collaborators had the idea of turning food and beverage outlets into film studios. Restaurant chefs became characters in their own universe, showing that these locations not only sell food, but an entire experience. Around 40 ads were created the City of Dreams group showcasing their restaurants and gained a large audience.

Documentaries have burst into the world to become the future of storytelling.
In Douro Boys we follow five winemakers in Portugal and their challenge to sell their wines worldwide.
What’s Your Art follows two very different characters united by the common theme of staying fit.

In Brazilian Device, a producer tries to convince executives to hire replacements for a band gone missing.

From the vineyards of Douro to Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, these videos showcase different content in the world of food and beverage. From a UNESCO winning video to behind the scenes in the kitchens of some of the best chefs in the world.

From comedic interviews inspired by Between Two Ferns to short films about decolonization, to spec ads for Mercedes, Evian and Panda Cheese, collaborations are at the heart of filmmaking.
