Max Barden

Hailing from the land down under, Max graduated with a Bachelor of Film and Television from Bond University. Max started his career as a Production and Director’s Assistant at various Melbourne-based production houses. He also spent a year as Trainee Director at Czar Amsterdam where he was mentored in comedic direction by Bart Timmer.

Inspired by absurdist humour, Max will always try to squeeze every possible laugh out of a script, finding gags where others wouldn’t think to look. He recently won the Grand Pix, X2 Silver and X1 Bronze awards at Cannes Lions for his Flipvertising campaign with Samsung.
