Writer & Director

Dimitri Max is a writer-director and the creative force behind baffe. Born in Paris and shaped by years working across design, electronic music, and technology, his perspective sits at the intersection of European sensibility and American commercial instinct.

That background informs everything: the visual precision, the rhythm, the instinct for what makes something stick. His slate includes award-winning short films, festival credits, and music videos for Billboard artists. He is currently in development on his next feature film.

Dimitri is available for commercial and music video direction through baffe, and welcomes collaborations with agencies and production companies looking for a specific narrative and cinematic voice.

Cinematographer

Nassim Geagea is a Director of Photography with over a decade of experience across short films, documentaries, commercials, and television. Born and raised in Beirut and trained at Université Antonine, he built his craft on international productions including Top Chef MENA, shooting across Cuba, Mexico, Poland, and the Middle East.

His cinematography on Omé earned recognition at the Richmond International Film Festival, Malmö Arab Film Festival, and Tampere Film Festival. His technical range extends to high-speed filming and analog photography, reflecting both precision and artistic depth.

Nassim has been a core collaborator at baffe since the beginning, bringing clarity and intention to every frame. He is a driving force behind the visual identity of the company's most ambitious work.

Producer, Strategy and Business Development

Luis Baro is a producer and strategist with decades of experience shaping the electronic music and entertainment industries. From leading programming on Sirius XM to driving Chicago's 1990s rave scene as a key promoter, he has spent his career at the intersection of culture and commerce.

That instinct for what moves people carries directly into his work in film. Luis is the lead producer on Children of Acid, a documentary exploring the rise of rave culture, and founded Viva Acid, an annual Chicago event celebrating acid house's enduring legacy.

At baffe, Luis brings creative production and business strategy together, helping drive ambitious projects and open new opportunities. A mentor to Dimitri early in his career, he remains one of the company's most trusted collaborators.

VFX Supervisor

Tennessee is a VFX supervisor who operates at the highest levels of the industry, working on major productions for some of the world's most recognizable brands. The details stay off the record, because that is how this world works.

What he brings to every project is the ability to make the impossible look inevitable: seamless compositing, precise visual effects, and a technical fluency that never calls attention to itself. The work holds up because he makes sure it does.

At baffe, Tennessee handles VFX supervision on projects that demand it, quietly raising the ceiling on what the work can be.
