Hello, my name is Max. I’m an independent content producer based in NYC. With a background in music and filmmaking, I specialize in creating dynamic video productions that capture the essence of live performances and elevate visual storytelling.

As a graduate of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, I bring a unique perspective to videography, having transitioned from musician to filmmaker.  My passion for creating dynamic and visually captivating videos is driven by a deep connection to music and the love for visual storytelling.

I bring a unique twist to social media content, crafting visually striking reels that stand out in a crowded digital landscape. To support this innovative approach, I have designed a custom shoulder rig from the ground up, providing the manual control necessary to realize my creative vision. After over a year with the setup I designed, it feels like an extension of myself, allowing for automatic technical execution so I can focus on translating the art on stage to camera movement.  

As important as gear is to achieve the creative vision of the filmmaker, I believe the heart of any great video lies in its ability to connect emotionally with the audience. This is why I approach each project not just as a videographer, but as a storyteller. I take the time to understand the artist's vision and the message they want to convey, so that the final product doesn’t just look polished, but also resonates deeply with the people watching it. My goal is always to create work that feels authentic, meaningful, and true to the essence of the performance or brand I'm representing.

I’m here to bring your performances to life, offering you a visual narrative that will resonate long after the last note is played. Besides the one shot social media promotional projects, I am also specialized in multi-angle captures of live performances, meticulously crafting dynamic and visually stunning videos. From precise cuts to artistic overlays, every video is tailored to capture the true essence of the music. Please email max@maxnierlich.com to see examples of multi camera work.

Some of the clients I've had the pleasure of working with include Grammy-award-winning artists like Brian Lynch, John Daversa, and Steffen Kuehn, as well as The University of Miami Frost School of Music, Kellin Hanas, Marcus Strickland, Etienne Charles and Bria Skonberg.  I’ve also been honored to create content for Alyssa Allgood, Amy Azzara, Aron Stornaiuolo, Cannibal Kids, Colin Logatto, Dan Montgomery, Dudley Meriam, Emily Ruldolph, Eric Stern, Ex-Monarch, Kate Kortum, Kieran Brown, John Lumpkin II, Michael Echaniz, Noah Halpern, Pedro Amos, Shari Annes, Steve Michaleson, Tatum Greenblatt and Valentina Fernandez.
