Hello! I'm Maximus McNamara, a London-based screenwriter-director looking to branch out into different filmmaking disciplines. I love the weird and the wacky, and I work hard to deliver engaging, high-energy pieces ranging from short films to dance promos. I'm highly adaptable and I love going outside of my comfort zone in filmmaking to create something that my clients can feel proud of. I am most fond of pre-producton, but I am trained in DaVinci Resolve and would be eager to stretch my editing muscle at any given opportunity.

Work Experience

Freelance Filmmaker at Freelance
January 1, 2023 - Present
I have had various film freelance roles that include, but are not limited to: - Directorial work for the JGA group creating a pop promo to celebrate creativity in West London, which gained attention from various councils of London boroughs, resulting in a wider promotion of filmmaking opportunities for students in west London. - Worked as a screenwriter as part of the Young Film Academy's "Project Paradiso" scheme that was filmed in Sicily in 2025 and is currently on the festival circuit, whilst also assisting in the crowdfund that raised over £90,000 for the budget. - Sound operation on various indie sets across London, particularly boom operating, and various editing projects relating to my own work, student work or work as part of an organisation (i.e. the JGA group, the YFA, etc ). - Acting work for independent and student filmmakers. - Set dressing and runner work. These experiences have helped develop skills such as: - Excellent punctuality and organisational skills, ensuring film sets operate smoothly, quickly and efficiently. - Confidence in engaging in multi-disciplinary style workflows, such as operating as a director and editor in the same project. - Blending creativity with professionalism when navigating a brief provided by a client.
