About Max Vonk
“CRAFTING STORIES FRAME BY FRAME, BRINGING EMOTION TO LIFE.”
Max specializes in film editing, color grading, and post-production, working as a freelancer on fiction films, documentaries, and online videos. His passion for visual storytelling started in secondary school, where he discovered a love for films. Over the years, through studies, internships, and freelance projects, he honed his skills in film and photography, realizing that cinematic storytelling was his true calling.
From 2008 to 2012, Max studied Film Editing at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy, graduating in 2012. Since then, he has worked on a variety of productions, including feature films, TV series, commercials, corporate films, music videos, and animations.
Max is deeply committed to creating compelling visual experiences. In his editing, he focuses on elevating visual and emotion storytelling to the highest level, ensuring that every cut serves a purpose in the broader narrative.
Beyond editing, color grading plays a crucial role in Max’s work. He uses color to shape mood, enhance emotion, and bring visual cohesion to every project. Whether crafting a cinematic, moody tone or achieving a clean, natural look, Max ensures that each frame supports the story’s essence.
