Leadership

Max Amini graduated from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television and has since become an entertainment industry veteran. Max has directed and produced many meaningful projects under his banner, Abstraction Media, and has garnered multiple successful programs for the Voice of America Network. His latest docu-series titled Diaspora, amplifies extraordinary immigrant stories.

Max’s projects deliver strong messages about family ties, cultural aspects, and social topics. Not only does Max strive to help others by spreading awareness through his work, but he created the Gifting Hearts organization as a way to give hope and resources to underprivileged individuals pursuing an education in the arts.

Max inherited a love and appreciation for academia from his late father, who always supported his artistic aspirations. He truly wants to make a difference for creative individuals in need of furthering their education to ultimately help them succeed.
