Tommy or Johnny or Ronny
A hybrid documentary about the Vietnam War, my great uncle, and the absurdity of familial shame. Following the anecdotal stories my grandma told me about her brother during Vietnam, this documentary is an attempt at understanding what to do with those darker stories passed down through family.

Raised in the Silicon Valley yet cutting their teeth in the NYC indie film scene, Maxfield Biggs has been making short films since the age of 9, and is working as a freelance filmmaker through Stranded Astronaut Productions. With a penchant for the absurd, and story ideas based in realist subjects like climate change or anti-capitalism, Max tries to find the gradient between the two forces in their filmmaking.
