Maximilian Dziduch

Maximilian Dziduch is a young director with Polish roots, born on April 17, 1997, in Offenbach. Growing up in a traditionally Polish family, he always felt conflicted about his cultural background. Films opened up a new and formative perspective on the world for him as a child, and he realized early on that he could find and express his own voice through the medium of film. After completing his high school education, Maximilian began his film studies at Darmstadt University, where he merged his passion for writing and drawing with his interest in filmmaking. During his studies, he directed numerous short films across different genres, developing his own style in the process. Since 2017, Maximilian has worked in various roles within the film industry, including completing an internship at Rocket Beans Entertainment GmbH in 2019 and at the Nationaltheater Mannheim in 2023. From 2024 on, Maximilian will study directing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
