Before starting MAX FREEDMAN MEDIA (MFM), Mr. Freedman ran his own advertising and publishing company, with a specialty in Computer-Generated Imaging (CGI), 3-D animation and special effects. He authored and edited five college-level textbooks for Adobe Systems. Three of them are on the subject of computer-based filmmaking. For one Adobe book, he wrote, produced, directed and edited a fictional comedy short that is its central teaching tool. MAX FREEDMAN MEDIA (MFM) and its MFM Productions and MFM Publishing divisions was formed by Max to bring to the screen the true life first person account of Marty F., who survived a suicide bombing in Jerusalem and then tried to save the life of the bomber. Max wrote the script FALAFEL about Marty's life experiences. MFM, creatively supports a growing group of filmmakers and authors of books who work in many genres.
