You loved him in Pacific Rim, Fifty Shades of Grey, and The Purge TV series, but did you know Max Martini is a writer and director as well? It’s true, and his latest film Sgt. Will Gardner is garnering a lot of praise and attention, including here in Georgia as he plans to show the film at the Rome International Film Festival!

Max came on the show to talk about the inspiration behind making the film and how he got such an amazing cast. We also talk about why a portion of profits go to veterans groups, what it was like working with Guillermo del Toro, directing himself, and much more.
