| Max Miller was Britain’s top comedian from the 1930’s through the 1950’s in England. Known as “the Cheeky Chappy” he sang bawdy songs and performed stand-up comedy to delighted, drunken Brits. After his death in 1963 he spent his childhood in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. where he developed a deep connection to the post-punk music scene and anti-corporate community movements. He left high school after tenth grade to enter Simon’s Rock College in western Massachusetts where he was taught the skills that transformed him from an obnoxious adolescent into a downright dangerous adult. He moved to Los Angeles in 1994 to pursue a screenwriting career and eventually own a dog. Mr. Miller at first optioned several of his feature screenplays to people who thought they were producers. Through that process he learned that saying "I love it" is free and real love means someone is willing to risk something for the material. He sold his first script in 2003, the action film "GAME OVER" produced by Black Gold Sun Entertainment. He has two dogs: DeSoto and Zilla. When not driving around Los Angeles looking for parking, changing his outgoing phone message, or desperately trying to make the country smarter, Max can be found working on new screenplay material, reviewing any of the gazillion restaurants in Los Angeles, and producing a Werner Herzog-style documentary about a fictitious World War II superhero. His writing and his life share the theme of antiestablishmentarianism: rebelling against authority that seeks conformity. Mr. Miller and his wife currently live in Culver City where the memorial site of Harold Lloyd's studio is marked by a car dealership. |
