WHO HE WORKED WITH

BIOGRAPHY

Maximilian Law is the Founder and Director of the Ferrara Film Festival since 2015, also CEO of Perpetuus Enterprises, an actor, a producer and a screenwriter.

In 2014 he came close to get an Oscar nomination, as one of his films ("Tomorrow Will Be Another Day") was eligible by the Academy in the "Best Live Action Short Film" category. With his previous production company, JustPressRec, which he co-founded in 2012, he produced more than 30 commercials all over the world and developed many marketing strategies for companies in the U.S., Europe and Latin America.

With the extensive experience on film and commercial sets, he started writing screenplays for feature and short films under the WGA. In 2012, at the age of 31, the second film he wrote ("Engage") was in the Official Selection for the Seattle Indiflix Film Festival and then sold to an American National TV Channel (Shorts HD). The same deal was made for two more movies he produced the following year ("Tomorrow Will Be Another Day" and "The Painter").

​As he kept exploring acting roles, he found himself very comfortable interpreting comedic characters ("Il Fenomeno", "Take 6", "Ropes Of Silicon", "J+C"), and from that moment he took himself very seriously in establishing his own brand. In 2015 he opened his new Production Company, "Perpetuus", specifically conceived to develop his own film projects.
