I use AI to turn places, characters and culture into worlds of my own. Each film is a way of finding out how far I can push the familiar into something unexpected.

Campaign ideas and art direction from my work in advertising.
Case 01 · 2024 · adidas Originals / Culture Campaign
Overview
The Astir and ADI2000 were inspired by the Y2K years. The challenge was to bring that era back in a way that felt surreal, playful and relevant to today's online culture.
The Idea
We mixed Y2K nostalgia with today's irreverent internet humour to create a spoof-heavy world around the shoes.
Case 02 · 2023 · adidas / Sport Campaign
Overview
Make the 4DFWD's forward-motion technology feel simple, visual and emotional.
The Idea
We showed a world where the ground moves with you, not against you.
Case 03 · 2023 · The Vegetarian Butcher / Global Positioning
Overview
Convince meat lovers that choosing plant-based does not mean giving anything up.
The Idea
We hacked the nostalgic codes of the meat industry to prove that with The Vegetarian Butcher, you Sacrifice Nothing.

I’m Max, a British art director based in Amsterdam.
I work on commercial campaigns and make my own AI films. My AI art direction projects are where I explore different brands, briefs and visual approaches.
I can take an AI film from concept through production, editing, sound and delivery. I also work with agencies, directors & artists on projects that need art direction or AI expertise.
