I’m Max. I’m an editor and assistant editor.

I cut the BAFTA award-winning Jellyfish and Lobster, for which I also won Best Editing at the British Short Film Awards. Graduating from the National Film and Television School Editing MA in 2023, my work has won multiple Audience awards and Jury prizes (Encounters, Palm Springs, Seattle etc), and played at big festivals around the world. More so than the awards, it is very gratifying and humbling that people have watched and enjoyed these projects.

For me editing is about getting to the heart of the story and the characters on screen, and about being a supportive and adaptable collaborator. Whether the film is raw and observational, or highly stylised and daring, I always aim to tailor my style of editing to the film and to aim to achieve the director and producer’s vision. And, it goes without saying, but I always want the edit to be a good time and an enjoyable relationship - I know how hard things have been before the edit!
