    Max Peril, a breath of fresh air in an otherwise trite industry.

    Seasoned filmmaker Frank Ladner has done it again! This mockumentary, Max Peril truly covers the wide range Of human emotions. There is action, suspense,drama,disappointment, and even an unrequited love story all wrapped up within dialog which is witty and clever without being trite. You'll find yourself quickly identifying with the characters in this film and actively involved in their story. The story itself, is incredibly riveting, and will keep you very involved. The musical score is very carefully chosen and corresponds beautifully with the scenes it plays along with. You'll enjoy the quest of the filmmaker Riley as he tries to complete his first motion picture before his impending thirtieth birthday. See this film, you will not be disappointed. Frank Ladner has a dazzling future ahead of him in Cinema, and you'll be glad you got the chance to venture along with him. I could go on about this film, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.. Watch this film! You'll be glad you did..

    Loved It!

    Like Frank's first feature-length film, "Max Peril" is hilarious, above all, but also surprisingly sweet and inspirational. There are so many quotable quotes! The story line is quite engaging, and good clean fun for the whole family. Good movies with no nudity/profanity/etc. DO EXIST! A lot of the characters are relatable and familiar. For a cast of mostly non-actors, I was very impressed with their ability, especially after learning that they were not technically given a script, just a basic outline to go by. I thoroughly enjoyed his portrayal of independent film makers and the festival circuit - too funny! I am continually amazed at what Frank Ladner is able to do with a small town and a small budget! Can't wait to see what he does next.

    • Trivia
      Max Peril's motivation of documenting the stories as a gift to Swoop-Down's mother was based on a real-life incident: Buddy Moody (Max Peril) spent considerable time and effort tracking down the mother of the friend he lost in Vietnam, and was able to share with her personal stories about her son.

      Max Peril: There's gonna be a situation here whenever you come through and enter into this threshold right here... your perception of reality could be altered.

      Max Peril: But then again, it may not.
