Go Into The Story Interview: Max Taxe

My interview with 2022 Black List writer for his script Ripple.

Here are links to the entire 6-part series which has run this week.

Part 1: I spent all summer watching movies, three a day, running to Hollywood Video every single morning to get more.”

Part 2: “If I were to find out I had a month left to live when I was a teenager, honestly, what would my goals be?”

Part 3: “One of the struggles with the script was wanting to get into how we treat memory and time, our pains, our traumas.”

Part 4: “The big thing I always ask myself is, who are the best characters for this story?”

Part 5: “I try to find that mix of planning things down to the letter and having that freedom and getting excited by some new idea that pops up.”

Part 6: “You’ll learn the most from writing, and failing, figuring out why you failed, then trying to fix it, and starting a new thing with the lessons you learned.”

Max is repped by Entertainment 360.
