Max


It snowed in Fairfield Bay Arkansas when I visited last. It was
Christmas, and smooth ice carpeted the roads around 99-year-old Max Nigh's retirement house. "Max" is a short documentary about a man growing old alone in the rural United States.

Director Statement

"The sunset is so pretty. It's a shame it's not enough. No one is happy here"

This film is highly personal. The process involved months spent far from my home, in a culture very different than mine.
