Ismael Gutierrez

as Maxwell Burns

i'm 21 years old and i have been acting since middle school. I took a liking to the profession when i saw and felt how movies inspired me and others. How characters that tend to be made up can make an audience member burst into tears for someone who never existed. Acting is the life source for our worlds creativity and i hope to continue to see it grow and prosper.
