Alongside his involvement in YSTV, Max also runs his own film production house, Take 22. Max started  Take 22 because he wanted a way to brand the projects he created that wasn’t just slapping his name on them, because these projects he creates with his friends are about all of their creativity, not just his own and so it didn’t feel right for him to be the sole name taking the credit. It’s important to him that all of their hard work is recognised and more than anything else, they’re having fun doing it.

One such award winning project was a collaboration between Take 22 films and YSTV, the Finding Long Boi Documentary. At the University of York, there is an infamously tall duck known as ‘Long Boi’. Max saw the opportunity to make a film about him and so put together the documentary, which won the award for Best Documentary and Factual Production at the National Student Television Awards (NaSTAs).
