Brandon Maxwell

Brandon Maxwell started shooting films at 12 thanks to elder brother Steve's investment in an 8mm camera. What started with a 2-minute film about teens dueling with shishkabob skewers culminated, four films later, in a 20-minute 'epic' about a real life a shark attack in a New Jersey estuary. Brandon's early love of film was grounded in a fascination with the human condition, having lived through The Nigerian Civil War before his adolescence in Connecticut. Brandon went on to study literature, philosophy, and politics at UC Berkeley, where he became the first undergrad to be awarded graduate business school credit at Cal (for a thesis in conflict theory). In 1985 he was drafted into a management-training program on Wall Street at American Express Bank. When his adventures in the go-go Manhattan of the 80's inspired a string of short stories, he moved to Los Angeles to study screen writing while working as an analyst at Disney Animation. He went on to write screenplays for Warner Brothers, Fox, Green Gage Entertainment, and Cinevox. When none of them made it to the screen, Maxwell determined to make his own. In 2003, he decided to combine his love of film, education, comedy, and sex in the making of "The Maxwell Multiple Climax," a film that teaches men a shortcut on the ancient art of Tantric male multiples. A self-professed neurotic, Brandon began to research human sexuality in his 20's as as he set out to address his own performance anxieties. He came to discover there were few arenas accessible to regular guys on the topic, so he decided to create one. After a year of focus group research and interviews, he made a 3-minute trailer for the film, which ended in interviews with real guys who'd tried the method from the film script. When MMC worked for over 90% of men who tried it, Brandon knew he had an entertaining but effective way to teach his groundbreaking method. He went on to write, produce and direct the 29-minute DVD over the next four years. "The Maxwell Multiple Climax" is alternately sexy and funny, but never X-rated. Instead, Brandon conceived to bring his easy-to-follow instructions to life with action-packed imagery, animations, and graphics that every adult could enjoy.
