When you ask a #horror #filmmaker in to inspire the next generation... #filmschool #London

Great ideas come to you when you're out on a casual stroll in a great location... a year later and Am Zaun is in the June semifinals of Phoenix Shorts! Big thanks to the cast, crew, and festival team ❤️

@eddie__mitra Thank you so much Eddie! Hope you've been keeping well!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

Looks like I can cross "Get a film into #Cannes" off my bucket list!
I'm beyond grateful for this milestone, thank you to the 8&Halfilm Awards for selecting Le Hameau des Valises (The Hamlet of Suitcases) for Best Drama in the 9th Edition of their Cannes programme!

The #soundtrack for our #debut feature, "World 42", is really shaping up! We're nearly done with colour grading, sound, and music and I'm so excited to see this project completed in #postproduction!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

It's always nice when an earlier film in your career gets a little love :') Huge thanks to the London-based Festival of Arts & Cinema team for officially selecting "Le Hameau des Valises"!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

This lovely certificate came through for Am Zaun placing as a #Finalist for Best Experimental #Film at the Bright International Film Festival, at around about the same time we found out we won the title at @EdiplayF! Huge thanks go to both festival teams, and the cast & crew!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

Thank you, Delta International Film Festival for having us return to your festival, this time with Am Zaun! It's an honour to be back! #officialselection

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

@Raindance Calmer, but an awful lot less interesting!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

@Cr38ives Thank you so much!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

It's an honour to be invited back to the Bright International Film Festival, this time with our new experimental horror short film, Am Zaun!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

Massive thanks to @GniffFilm for selecting "Am Zaun" as Best Art/Experimental Short #Film! We really appreciate the recognition, thank you so much!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

Credit to Anna Liepelt for snapping the Am Zaun cast & crew at the 29th #Regensburg #Kurzfilmwoche. The bilingual #QandA sessions after each screening were a lot of fun!

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

Huge thanks the Golden Nugget International Film Festival for nominating "Am Zaun" as Best Art/Experimental Short Film in the new festival edition! We're very excited to hear the results at the end of the month, and it's a pleasure to be part of the festival again this year!

@HannahLowther97 Congratulations!!

Had a lot of fun designing a gritty indie Euro-horror poster for Am Zaun (when your combined cast/crew is only four, there seems little point in a billing block!) #indiefilm #horror #european

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

New #trailer for the surreal #experimental #horror, "Am Zaun"! (I may have taken some dreamlike cues from David Lynch for this one...) https://t.co/aTV6xtdBgk

[Max Albrecht @MaxCriticalMask]

@Raindance It doesn't bear thinking about! (Although I'd like to think I'd keep on creatively writing in some form.)
