“I have been told that I don’t always make good first impressions,” Max Drucker tells me candidly.
I couldn’t agree more: When we first met about six years ago, Max was in my face, complaining about a ticketing situation during the film festival. He was an abrasive, big-picture person, thinking outside of the box, and he was absolutely right about the matter.
He went on to teach me new things in a field where I was supposed to be the expert. I’m forever grateful and have come to greatly admire Max for his intelligence.
