First Off: A Bit About My Journey
Hello! I’m David Sandoval Rios, the founder of MAX-Q, and I’m driven by a lifelong fascination with the cosmos and the science of impact. While my formal studies are in Computer Science here in Mexico, my real education has been in the boundless universe of self-learning. I’ve plunged deep into aerospace engineering, even connecting with investors from ventures like Amazon’s Project Kuiper, learning the absolute precision required to launch and achieve orbit.
My analytical mind, sharpened by years of self-taught photography (here is my instagram, not MAX-Q) and dissecting films since childhood, realized something profound: a great film needs a launch sequence. It needs a trailer that isn’t just creative, but scientifically engineered to break through the atmosphere of noise and achieve escape velocity in the market.
Now, don’t misunderstand my love for data and algorithms – I promise I don’t see everything as just ones and zeroes! Creativity is an absolute pillar in trailer editing; it’s the very spark that gives your film its soul. But here’s the crucial insight: if I were solely a creative, I couldn’t fully grasp the critical importance of turning that artistry into a powerful communication and conversion tool for filmmakers. My unique approach ensures your film’s soul is not only felt but also effectively launched into the market.
So, How Does MAX-Q Help You Land That Success?
At MAX-Q, I treat every trailer as a mission. I’m not just editing; I’m your mission control specialist, applying the same principles of meticulous design, precise timing, and thrust optimization to your film’s marketing. My goal is to build a trailer that doesn’t just look good, but acts as your film’s guidance system, strategically calibrated to generate desire and unlock distribution, festival acceptance, and financial viability.
I understand the high stakes. This trailer is your primary calling card, your strategic sales tool, the make-or-break moment. You’ve poured years of creative energy and funds into your film. You need a partner who sees your “baby” and understands the complex orbital mechanics of the film industry.
My mission at MAX-Q is to empower independent producers like you with a cutting-edge, aerospace-grade approach to film marketing. I’ve distilled the most effective marketing, psychology, and editing techniques into a very specific, repeatable recipe. This isn’t just about showing a film; it’s about engineering a powerful marketing tool that truly generates desire in your audience. Let’s design a trailer that doesn’t just show a film, but finally launches it, turning your creative world into your greatest success.
