MAX RICHARDSON-REITMAN

Motion Designer | Video Artist | Queer Activist

Director | Editor | Motion Designer

I am an award-winning nonbinary creative with over 8 years of industry experience in motion design and video editing. In my role as a Senior Motion Designer with Warner Brothers Discovery / HBO, I've cultivated a vast portfolio of digital content, title graphics packages, AR filters, and more for a variety of programming and theatricals, including Euphoria, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Westworld, Barry, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc.

Within my freelance creative work, my love for visual music experiences has led to a ranging portfolio within the music industry with a focus on lyric videos, music video editing, title design, and concert visuals. I am grateful to have created work for Justin Bieber, Macklemore, Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, Cookie Kawaii, Loote, Olivia O'Brien, Ezi, Brayton Bowman, and others.

I am a passionate queer community organizer and a major advocate for the visibility of gender diverse identities in media, having contributed as an authentic trans/gender non-conforming (TGNC) voice for a variety of programming with queer representation. With over 5 years of leadership experience as a co-chair and board member of WBD's Pride business resource group for LGBTQ+ employees, I've helped organize a consistent calendar of community events, education initiatives, and internal advocacy within the workplace, helping shape company policy and accommodations for TGNC employees (guidelines, gender neutral bathrooms, gender reporting, etc).

I am the proud founder of Queer Skate Austin, a grassroots LGBTQ+ community group that provides a reliable safe space for queer and non-traditional skaters to sesh together at a local Austin skate park weekly. Founded in July of 2022, the group has garnered nearly 1.5K followers and supported a very active queer skate community in ATX.
