My Take
Max Winkler interests me as a study in choosing the unglamorous path inside a glamorous town. Born in Los Angeles and trained at USC, he could have chased franchises; instead his feature debut, Ceremony in 2010, was a small, talky character piece, and convincing Uma Thurman to anchor your first film shows real persuasive nerve. He moves between directing, writing, television work, and occasional acting, which tells me he thinks like a craftsman rather than an auteur with one trick. Directors who build careers on modest, well-made stories tend to outlast the flashy ones, and I would bet on Winkler being a long-haul survivor.
