Max Covill Purple Polo Headshot

Hello,

I’m a Digital Marketer based out of Rhode Island. I create and manage engaging and informative content for a newsletter and podcast that covers film, television, and gaming.

I’m also an experienced freelancer with over a decade of work in Entertainment.

Are you looking for a reliable professional who brings a wealth of experience and a diverse skill set?

Look no further.

  • With over a decade of experience in journalism, I've worked with numerous outlets reviewing entertainment, interviewing creatives, and making exciting content.

  • I've hosted and created numerous websites using Wordpress, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, and more to create thoughtful and dynamic websites and promotional materials for my brand.

  • Journalism isn't solely about writing; it's about making a brand around your content. Utilizing Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more, I've been able to reach my audience where they are and showcase my work.

  • As an extension of my brand, I've created a newsletter and podcast that highlight my knowledge in Entertainment, while simultaneously letting me create a network of loyal subscribers and listeners.

What peers say:

  • “Max is a pro, in all senses of the word -- a journalist, writer, and podcast host with a curious mind, deep knowledge of film, and welcoming presence that come through in both his writing and in his work on the It's the Pictures podcast, on which I've been honored to guest. His passion and awareness of sci-fi and anime in particular are impressive; I think often about his investigation into the iconic moment when Legolas swung his way backward onto a horse in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. If you listen to even a minute of his podcasting, his ability to simultaneously contextualize and dive deep into moments, scenes, and overall cultural phenomena via engaging and entertaining podcasting is clear.”

  • "As Boston Online Film Critic Association (BOFCA) Social Media Manager, Max performs crucial work to amplify the work of our critics. Daily, he strategically reposts reviews, podcasts, speaking engagements, and other work our critics share on their personal accounts. This spreads the word about what we’re doing in the community, attracts more attention to the organization, and ensures that our critics see value in their BOFCA membership. He also shares timely posts from local theaters and film festivals in Boston to engage the community and elevate our partners in the Boston film scene. As the social media landscape became more fractured, Max also thoughtfully approached me about expanding our presence on Threads and Bluesky. He has launched the new accounts on those platforms and helped ensure BOFCA’s presence is felt there too. I’m very fortunate to have Max managing BOFCA’s social media presence."

    Evan Crean, BOFCA Co-Chair

  • "I’ve been lucky enough to work with Max as a writer for a high-profile film website, to collaborate with him as a recurring guest on his podcast, and to witness his rigorous work as a reader of his newsletter. He’s one of the most dedicated and well-researched professionals I know, committed to delivering consistent, well-informed, interesting work no matter the circumstances. Having known him for seven years, I can attest that Max is thoughtful and easy to work with. I’m always impressed by his adherence to self-imposed deadlines most of us couldn’t dream of sticking with, as well as his generous, regular pursuit of new perspectives."
