About MAX:

Max Tobin is an award-winning writer/director and journalist from Dudley (which is a bleak post-industrial place near Birmingham). Having won the Royal Television Society's inaugural 'Young Filmmaker Award' in 2021 for his short film 'I Will Despise You'—Max now works as a writer/presenter for the BBC, where he is developing both narrative and factual projects for television. In 2022 he was nominated for the Edinburgh TV’s Festival’s New Voice Awards in the ‘Debut Presenter’ category.

Interested in the liminal spaces between genres (gross, he’s writing this himself)—Max's pieces are unconventional in tone and usually microcosmic in scale (tragic self-description). In all of his work, from narrative filmmaking and music video direction to presenting on-screen, Max attempts to inject nuance and humour into unsettling topics (I am being sick in my mouth), and create characters you’ll hate yourself for loving (so glib). He writes his own bios in third person because he’s a hideous prick and an indominable narcissist.
