Sokoloff Max

Max used to skip his high school classes in San Francisco to go to the movies, hiding under the seats to see three showings of the same film. Since then, his passion hasn’’t wavered. He’’s written and directed a feature as well as dozens of shorts, which have been officially selected at numerous festivals including the Mill Valley, Los Angeles, and Chicago International Film Festivals. He has taught at the NEA-funded Film Workshop of SF Art & Film, where he mentored students, emphasizing collaboration and perseverance. Max is a recent graduate of the directing program at the American Film Institute. He still often watches the same movie three times in a row.
