"For me, the ability to transfer emotion through a screen... no, through a film, is in itself the highest reward."
Max Galante is entering his third year in the student film industry and is determined to make a significant impact. His directorial debut, "Ossesione", gained international recognition in 2024, earning him the confidence and respect to continue his work. That year, he participated in the production of five films, one of which challenged his previous notions of what was possible. This film, "Walkin' The Bridge", is a 40-minute epic—nearly quadrupling the runtime of "Ossesione"—featuring over 20 cast members and taking seven months to produce. He is extremely proud of the dedication everyone was able to put into his and hopes it has as successful of a run as his previous works.
