Max Messi

Max Messi is a bright witty comedy about, Max Messi. A clever, cheeky puppet boy creating havoc, mayhem and downright ridiculous disasters with whatver he touches. Max wants to be a talk show host and uses his charm to convince unsuspecting guests to fix his mishaps that won't necessarily have a solution.

Big Pot Little Pot

We love puppets and wanted to create a family friendly series that kids would love and parents would approve of. We commissioned puppet master Sarah Burren to build Max. In 2012 we shot a pilot episode titled Big Pot Little Pot. Check out the full episode below.

Xtreme Maxing

After Big Pot Little Pot we wanted to experiment with Max in his own world, hence the creation of Xtreme Maxing, where YouTuber Max shares his funny experiences. Xtreme Maxing is currently in pre production as a television series.
