Maxim studied at the Bournemouth and Pool College of Art and Design and then the Farnham Art college (later named the Surrey Institute of Art & Design). While studying he worked continually on new projects, trying new roles and collaborating with all comers.

After leaving Farnham, he embarked on a series of short films, while, as a product of editing his own films, he became a certified Avid trainer.

 

He now splits his time between making films and teaching Avid, Production Skills and Tai Chi Ch’uan. His main creative project is Love and the man it changed, a feature-length production about a Hitman who falls in love and becomes a better man in spite of his past.
