Max Soto

Assistant Director

Max ‘Danger’ Soto is the 1st Assistant Director here at Eleven Productions. At the ripe age of 19, young beardless Max started his career at Florida Gulf Coast University. As a smart, ambitious and extremely handsome young man, he eagerly absorbed as much as possible. Once out of school, he spent time exploring and immersing himself in each department. With great mentors, he learned the industry and as his ginger beard grew, so did his understanding of what it takes for a successful shoot. Story has been told that many years later during a solar eclipse, fate being the cruel bitch she is, he needed to fill the 1st AD role on a production. With the production gods behind him, Max rose to the challenge and became the greatest 1st AD in the world.
