Sundance Advisor
Maxine Trump
Author/Educator/Director
Maxine is a filmmaker and consultant. She has directed, developed and produced critically acclaimed feature documentaries and series in the UK, US and around the world. As a producer she enjoys enabling others to realise their goals and guiding them through production. For example, writing DANCE WITH DADS' inaugural treatments for the director of Netflix's DAUGHTERS; or story consulting for Canada's Oscar nominee ETERNAL SPRING. Whether she's finding great characters or directing jaw-dropping cinematic scenes, she loves bringing dramatic true stories to life. Her secret weapon is that she began her career working as a development executive for scripted comedy at the BBC, which helps bring emotion (and some humour) to everything she makes. More
