Early Life, Parents, and Education

Max spent first several years of his life in New York City, but then moved to Los Angeles, California with his parents, but there is no information about them, or if he has any siblings or not. From an early age, Max was interested in acting and so started taking acting lessons, consistently honing his skills. After a successful completion of high school, Max enrolled at Brown University, from which he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in 2004.

Career Beginnings

Max then started chasing his first engagement, but didn’t have any success as an actor, and so instead focused on producing and directing. His first credited work was as the producer of the short film “Business of Death” in 2007. The following year, Max worked on several short documentaries – “Good: Water”, “Good: Immigration”, “Good: Education”, “Good: Coal”, “Good: Alcohol Olympics”, and which continued into 2009, with short documentaries “Let’s Harvest the Organs of the Death Row Inmates”, “Good: Big Belly”, “Good: Atomic Alert”, “Good: Animal Guns, “Good: The Green Hotel”, and “Good: Drinking Water”, among other documentaries on which he worked either as a producer, director or editor. Gradually, his name was becoming more popular and he even started working as a writer, creating a couple short films – “Garden of Eden” and “Follow the Frog” – both successful.

“Catfish: The TV Show”

The series is a spin-off of the fairly criticized documentary film “Catfish”, made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, involving a young man named Nev, who was filmed while trying to make contact with young women through the social media platform, Facebook. The film was a complete hit, though many tried to invalidate the authenticity of it, and  the film spawned the spin-off series “Catfish: The TV Show”, which has recently completed its eighth season, with Max a writer, and co-host of the show alongside New Schulman. The two are the professional help for a person who wants to find out who is on the other side of the conversation on the popular social media platform. In each episode, Max and Nev face another challenge, but they are bound to discover who is the ‘other side’, and if the person’s identity is already known, Max’s and Nev’s job is to discover whether the person is speaking the truth about themselves or not. His appearance on “Catfish” has made him a star in the reality TV world.

Continual Success

Encouraged by the success of his most recent endeavors, Max decided to try himself as a director of a full-length film; he wrote the screenplay with the help of Meaghan Oppenheimer and Richard Silverman for the romantic drama “We Are Your Friends”, starring Zac Efron, Wes Bentley and Emily Ratajkowski. The film received positive reviews but grossed only $3.5 million at the box office, from a $2 million budget. In order to make the film, Max left “Catfish” for several episodes during the 4th season, but has since been a regular on his job as a co-host.
