About

Max Gutierrez is a Director/DP with a knack for capturing those ‘wink and smile’ comedic moments. Working with celebrities and professional athletes is his jam because they’re demanding, hard to please and eager to end the day early, and that’s just fine with him. As a family man, he approaches visual storytelling and lifestyle work with an honesty and humanity that is based in years of juggling kids, coaching sports and pretending he’s still cool enough to hang out with the teens.

His work has been recognized by some of the biggest names in the business, including AdWeek, Ad Age, The Drum, the One Club, The Addy’s and the Young Director Awards at Cannes, and his recent work for DraftKings brought home a Clio.

A San Francisco native, Max graduated from UC Berkeley and enjoyed a stint at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners before earning his MFA from the School of Cinematic Arts at USC. Max resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three kids.
