Background

About Max Mitchell

When I was younger, I discovered my passion for filmmaking by using my mom's old Panasonic tape camcorder and Lego figures. At just 11 years old, I operated as a one-person production team, combining creativity and resourcefulness to craft visual stories on a tight budget. With duct tape, donated clothing, and sheer determination, I handled every role—writing, filming, acting, and editing. This early enthusiasm, paired with my current education and resources, has deepened my passion for working in media production. A proud Yinzer turned fourth-year 'Nole, I am pursuing a degree in Digital Media Production at Florida State University. My experience spans numerous student and professional film projects, where I’ve contributed in roles ranging from Production Assistant to Cinematographer. I also bring expertise from corporate and university communications settings. While my primary focus has been on filmmaking and video production, I have expanded into diverse media fields, including graphic design, social media management, photography, radio production, event planning, and marketing. I am particularly drawn to advertising strategy and campaign development, further broadening my skill set and interests.
