Sorry it’s been so long ❤️

Sorry it’s been so long ❤️ I love all of you. Somehow this page is still growing, and for that I have the motivation not only to keep going — but to go bigger. Thanks to my sponsors and this page, I’m investing $8k into this next round. It sounds like a lot, but it’s all going toward housing and flights. We’ll be cooking at the house to save money, and I’m still trying to pull together more funds for books.

Quick note before I dive in: I’m not going to be shooting for the next 3 weeks. Honestly, I’ve felt pretty uninspired to shoot girls around here lately. In the meantime, I’ll be posting some things from my Angles pages just to fill the space — but don’t worry, new things are coming soon.

Now for the big news: I’m officially heading to LA in just 3 weeks! 🎉
This is all possible thanks to BTW2LINES’ new sponsors — Hazed Sodas & Azara Smoke Shop! They stepped up at the $4k sponsorship level, which gave me the ability to lock in the houses for the trip.

I’ve now confirmed around 30 people for the project. Of course, things shift — some people may ghost, others might jump in last minute — but I’ve attached a rough list of who I’m currently talking with. I’ve also aligned myself with 3 agencies in LA, and I’m already starting to receive model packages, which is super exciting.

My good friend Brian Cross will also be joining me to help with video and BTS coverage. Ideally, I’d like to put out a full 1-hour BTS video, along with some “how we did it” content. Plus, my goal is to create feature videos highlighting a few models — something I’m really hyped about.

I know I’ve been quiet the last month, and I want to say sorry for the delay. Between casting, planning this trip, and working overtime at my new job, it’s really just been me carrying the load. I tried to build a team around me, but most people were only interested in going for their own personal reasons — and for this trip, I need people who truly add value.

I’m also catching up on buyouts today — I know some of you have been waiting! If you’re interested in one, let me know soon. I’ll be cutting them off on the 20th, and they won’t be available again until 2026.

I’m also still looking for a few small sponsorships to help cover remaining needs (like boxes of Polaroid film 📸). If you’d like to sponsor, I’ll send you original Polaroids from a model of your choice as a thank you.

On top of that, if you’re interested in ad reads on the podcast, hit me in the DMs. I’m also going to open up a buyout package — I’ll be letting 10 people buy in to get full buyouts on all shoots. This is part of how I’m fundraising to make everything happen, so if you’re interested, definitely DM me.

Big things are coming together, and I can’t wait to share them with you all. Thanks for your patience and for rocking with me through this build-up — it’s going to be worth it.

Much love,
Max
