Max Hagelstam
Max Hagelstam is a Business Development Manager for the Adobe video products in the Nordic region, constantly in contact with both existing and future customers regarding post production and broadcast workflows.
Max started his career by shooting action sports videos in 1987, simultaneously trying his best to hurt himself as much as possible riding BMX Freestyle, Skateboard and Off Road Motorcycles. In the mid 90's, while studying at various film schools, he started working as a freelance video photographer and editor. Shooting and editing everything from VFX heavy commercials and historical documentaries to dramas and artsy short films, has given him a wide experience in the world of movie productions.
As a long time Adobe software user, he started using Adobe After Effects in the CoSA days (1993) and Adobe Premiere in 1995. In 2001, Max started consulting for Adobe Nordic as a video product specialist, finally joining the company as a full time employee in 2006.
When not travelling around the Nordic region, visiting customers, he and his friend Tomas are still making various short films; the latest one "Next Stop: Life", won the 1st price award for Best Fantasy Short at the 2010 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.
