Director Biography - Maximilian Fairie

From Leeds, West Yorkshire, ever since I was little I’ve made short army films and stop motion Lego movies with my friends. Over the past five years I’ve been undertaking multiple film courses, producing everything from documentaries, to experimental films, to where my heart truly lies, comedies and more action based productions. Now gearing up for my final year of uni, I’m currently writing a follow up script to my most recent film “what are you doing here”, and developing a first draft for a fantasy based novel.

Director Statement

For the past five years I have been undertaking a journey through multiple different film courses and have now arrived at my final year (2022-2023). Old British comedies were always something I found interesting and wanted to try my hand at. So when my second year film at university rolled around, I dug up an old script based on a conversation between fellow work colleagues, and refined it the best I could. Though the project suffered numerous setbacks and issues, with an amazing and dedicated cast and skill full team we were able to successfully pull off one the hardest genres of film to make and get a good laugh out of it. This film was originally shown at the “Fourth Floor Rising” on 25/5/22. An end of year uni show case presented to roughly 200 people and received massive praise from the audience and fellow student film makers alike.
