Max Coleman

Intro Max, an 18-year-old from Atlanta, Georgia. This sets the tone for a grounded, coming-of-age narrative centered around identity, transition, and emotional discovery. 🎬 Script Introduction: “Still 18” INTRO SEQUENCE – ATLANTA, LATE SUMMER. Golden light spills down over cracked pavement, humidity hanging thick in the air. Max rides his skateboard through a familiar neighborhood route—past JD’s Deli, the closed-down movie theater, and the same basketball court where he spent most of his junior year. His graduation tassel swings from the rearview mirror of his parked car. He’s not running from anything. But he’s not sure what he’s running to either. NARRATION (Max, VO): “They call it ‘real life’ like I just leveled up or something. But nobody tells you what button to press when nothing feels real anymore.” INTRO CONTINUES with brief flashes of Max’s world: • Text message arguments with his mom about college applications • Laughter with his friends on a rooftop after midnight • Quiet reflection while editing a skate vlog • The crashing sound of silence behind decisions he’s afraid to make 💭 Tone & Themes: This is a story about the space between childhood and adulthood—where freedom feels heavy and identity is still forming. Max is 18: vulnerable, sharp, unsure, and constantly swinging between feeling grown and completely lost.
