Maxim Jago (born August 22, 1974) is a motivational speaker, film maker, author, and futurist. His work as a media technology author includes some of the standard texts used by many film schools and private training facilities around the world, and his award winning films have provided a basis for many of the techniques expounded in his educational texts.[1] Jago's 'screen-captured' online training materials have received millions of views via established platforms including YouTube, Adobe TV, and Lynda.com.[2] Having directed over over 30 short films, Jago received the Best Director award at the Monaco Film Festival 2014.[3]
Career[edit]
In 1998, Jago helped run the Raindance Film Festival in London. This experience led to a lasting friendship with the founder, Elliot Grove. Over the following 20 years, Jago produced a number of independent short films, with mixed success, while working on screenplays for longer productions. One script, Almost Alive, won a UK Writer's Passage award, leading to substantial training and mentoring.[4]
Jago went on to direct over 50 independent short films and one feature-length documentary about the work of abstract theatre director Richard Foreman. In 2003, he began public speaking and teaching media technology, eventually as a Master Trainer for both Adobe and Grass Valley. This work led to authoring over 30 books and training courses, recording more than 1,500 screen-capture lessons. One of these, the Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book, published by Adobe Press, is a standard text used by film schools worldwide to teach post-production film and video skills.[2]
In 2014, having established his role as a media technology expert, Jago expanded his public presentations to incorporate Futurology, describing socio-technical trends and forecasting future changes.
As of 2015, Jago is a regular speaker at NAB, IBC, the Sundance and Raindance film festivals, occasional speaker at the Dubai Film Festival, and a regular contributor to podcasts and online training platforms; notably Adobe TV (several of Jago's tutorials are part of the Adobe online Help system), YouTube and Lynda.com.[1] He continues to write and direct films, and is a member of the HP Advisory Council, and the Nvidia Technology Advisory Council.
Jago's film work continues with the development of two feature length fiction projects, The Inner Garden, based on a stage play originally written by his father, Malcolm Hobbins, and Orpheus Rising based on an award winning script written by the director.
