Director Biography - Max r Lincoln

Max is a director fueled by an insatiable hunger for genre exploration and stylistically distinctive worlds. He began with heightened dramas but, through development, found a home in horror. Max crafts electrifying narratives that plunge relentlessly into deliciously nasty endings. RHYME OR DIE, his horror-comedy short, won BEST HORROR SHORT at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival and BEST SCREENPLAY SHORT at the BAFTA-qualifying Manchester Film Festival.
