Max Rovo is a writer, director and producer, known for Champagne and Charades (2019). Rovo was born in Greenbrae, California. At the age of six, his father took him to see his first movie, Michael Mann's classic, Heat. This catapulted a lifelong romance with film. While going to San Jose State University, Rovo was cast by actor and director Buddy Butler in theater productions, where he played Private Driscoll in Bury the Dead by Irwin Shaw, and Lee in True West by Sam Shepard. Soon after, Rovo moved to New York when he was twenty-four years old. In New York, Rovo steadily gained on-set experience, working as a production assistant on numerous motion pictures like John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabelllum, Joker and the indie, A Mouthful of Air, as well as a few television shows such as The Deuce and Succession. Rovo also developed a trilogy of feature screenplays, which grapple with existential themes, as dark comedies, psychological horror and thrillers.
