“Mahx has been a beloved guest and an active member of the Pornfilmfestival Berlin community for several years, always bringing in ground-breaking work and inspirational input in public Q&A's and conversations.
Their panel during our B2B event was particularly insightful and widely celebrated among participants, and proof of their unique ability to convey diverse perspectives and honor different truths, thus creating understanding and forging ground for progress.”
Calba,
Cofounder of House of Huitlacooch
In 2020, I Co-founded House of Huitlacooch as a community based collective creating erotic shorts to fund our community programming. Mahx offered a porn+financing workshop for our 2nd year retreat that proved invaluable in building our infrastructure. They are an excellent facilitator and ethical producer and have invaluable knowledge to share in regards to collective and community care. They are a leader in queer and trans ethical porn production and I am honored to know them.

“Do not miss an opportunity to work with Mahx! They doula’d a recent creative project of mine and it was the first time I’ve ended a process actually not burnt out and still caring about art. They not only helped me profoundly with all of the practical (and emotional) aspects of making art, but I’ve also learned SO MUCH from their ways of working. Mahx is holistic in their ways of seeing our fields and our work. No one is as clear as Mahx, as spot on in knowing when to take the lead, when to follow, and when to work magic. Mahx is my hero.”

“[Mahx was] the Managing Director of my dance company for five years. Not only has my company grown in infrastructure, organization, and fundraising, I have become more clear headed and confident as an artist.
I am now able to think long term about the trajectory of my work and plan each project with clarity and honesty. Mahx’s ability to understand the scope of a project, strategize its funding needs and come up with a financially responsible and ethical plan is nothing short of a miracle.”

“Mahx brilliantly managed the production of a show that had to go into a site in a crazy time crunch. Their highly detailed spreadsheets for every activity and their way of calmly holding the space under that pressure turned what could have been a producing nightmare into one of the most joyous tech experiences.”
Cori Olinghouse,
Choreographer
“Mahx is a visionary, systems-oriented thinker who worked with me across multiple projects. Always fiercely proposing suggestions that incorporate technological, business-oriented, and aesthetic frameworks, Mahx embodies an uncompromising ethics - a vision that is much needed for the field.”
