Director Biography - Todd "Max" Carey

Hi there! I'm Max, a first-time, Queer+ identifying director based in Montreal. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of wandering, working, and living in 137 countries over the past 30 years, collecting experiences along the way. My personality is bold and unapologetic, and I view life as a masterpiece that draws inspiration from the diverse cultures of the world. I'm happiest when I'm questioning and challenging the status quo, as I believe that growth and progress stem from pushing boundaries and thinking outside of the box.

As Socrates once famously said, "I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing," and I'm not even sure I know that. But I'm always eager to learn and expand my horizons, both personally and professionally.

Director Statement

As the director of "tOuch Kink," I'm proud to say that at the core of this film lies a powerful message about the importance of negotiation, enthusiastic informed consent, and aftercare in consensual kink practices. Through our storytelling, I hope to convey how these elements make kink practices far more concerned, aware, and healthy than so-called "normal" sexual practices.

My team and I aim to challenge outdated societal norms and shed light on the true beauty of kink practices, demonstrating how they can lead to deeper communication, trust, and intimacy between partners. We hope that "tOuch Kink" will spark a global conversation about sexual practices, encouraging individuals to safely explore their desires without shame or stigma.

I firmly believe that the world needs more films like "tOuch Kink" — ones that inspire and educate, ones that broaden our perspectives and embrace new possibilities. So, join me on this journey, and let's discover together the incredible world of consensual kink practices
