Hugo Max is an extraordinarily gifted multi-disciplinary artist - painting, filmmaking, composing and musicianship; expression just pours out of him.
A few years back, TheNeverPress were fortunate enough to catch Hugo performing a wholly improvised live score for our favourite film The Cabinet of Dir Caligari (Weine, 1920). Flash forward to now and we've been so lucky to nab some time with him, before he embarks on a nationwide tour - live-scoring classic silent movies in some of the best-loved cinemas in the UK. Info about the shows will be at the end of the article, but before you go scurrying off to book your tickets, dive into Hugo Max's incredible world, as we talk inspiration, silent movies and keeping it real on the fly to a film you've seen a boat load of times. Enjoy!
