Available to hire
Hi, I’m Max Pribnow, a filmmaker and storyteller with a hands-on background in writing, directing, editing, and acting. I’ve led and contributed to capstone and student films, most notably Wail of the Man Child, which screened at Fairfield University’s Cinefest and earned an award for best editing.
I thrive in collaborative environments, from planning and shooting to post-production, and I’m driven by projects that fuse humor, emotion, and strong characters. I’m excited to continue developing as a cinematographer, editor, and writer, and I love bringing bold ideas to life with a team.
