Max (xamnil) Lin is a Los Angeles-born, New York City-based film director, editor, and photographer.

His work explores unorthodox visual techniques within the music and fashion spaces, using a mix of practical and post-production VFX to add a signature touch. He's collaborated with music artists, brands, and festivals including Adidas, MENACE, 88rising, Rolling Loud, and AMBUSH, with his work reaching over 5 million viewers internationally. At the core of his practice is a belief that visual art should be felt and remembered, not just seen — treating each frame as an opportunity to bend expectation.
