Max Mellman
Max Mellman is a sound mixer, record collector & wife guy originally from Cleveland, Ohio. During his sixteen years in New York City, he has not written for any prominent outlets, appeared in any interesting shows, or done much of note. Still, he watched 263 movies last year and is directly responsible for Timothée Chalamet’s success. A longtime lover of various little yellow guys, his ironic-turned-sincere love of Minions nearly got his internet shut off. His wife says it has “gone too far.”
