It was once called Who Shot Ya?...then it was called The Untitled Ify, Drea, & Alonso Project. But we have settled on a new name. And that is...Maximum Film! 

A big thank you to all the people who submitted to our naming contest. There were so many great submissions. And a special thank you to our four finalists - The Multiplex by Laura Darling, Intersectional Lens  by Dan Wheeler, The Push In by Hannah Hinkel, and our winner Max Lupo with our new name Maximum Film!

Check out our first episode as Maximum Film! this Friday, June 4th, where we talk about Together Together  with special guest Riley Silverman.
