Max Rissman
Filmmaker
Ever since Max was four years old, when he forced his parents to watch and act out "The Wizard of Oz" with him every night, he has been captivated by the power of stories to transform the mundane into the magical. After attending NYU's MFA film program, he now writes elevated genre features about wounded characters learning to forgive themselves and heal. His feature film UPON WAKING will be released this Valentine's Day on Amazon Prime, Fandango and Hoopla.
