FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Maxscene?

Maxscene is the specialty division of Tyler Perry Studios dedicated to expanding theatrical opportunities for filmmakers with distinctive voices. Creator-first, audience-focused, and beholden to no one’s blueprint, Maxscene develops, produces, and distributes films across genres. The division empowers storytellers by giving them the opportunity to build upon an established audience while forging one of their own.


How is Maxscene different from Tyler Perry Studios?

Maxscene is a division of Tyler Perry Studios with a distinct focus on expanding opportunities for new voices, filmmakers, and stories and providing them with theatrical opportunities. While rooted in the legacy and infrastructure of Tyler Perry Studios, Maxscene represents an evolution of the brand.


Does Maxscene accept project submissions?

At this time, Maxscene is not able to accept unsolicited project submissions or literary material. However, projects may be considered when submitted through an established and reputable talent agency, provided all applicable submission requirements have been completed prior to any materials being sent.
For questions regarding the submission process or to inquire about submitting a project for consideration, please contact [email protected].


Do I need representation to submit a project to Maxscene?

At this time, projects must be submitted through an established and reputable talent or agency in accordance with Tyler Perry Studios’ submission policies. Unsolicited scripts, treatments, pitches, or other literary materials cannot be accepted or reviewed.
However, as a discovery label, Maxscene is focused on identifying emerging filmmakers and storytellers who are already actively investing in their craft and bringing their ideas to life. We encourage creatives to come to the table with more than an idea – whether that’s a proof of concept, short film, established body of work, or other materials that demonstrate their creative vision and ability to execute.
Our goal is to discover voices that are already taking meaningful steps to tell their stories and explore how Maxscene may help amplify what they’ve begun.


Can independent filmmakers partner with Maxscene on an existing project?

At this time, Maxscene is not accepting partnership requests for existing independent projects. As a discovery label, our focus is on identifying distinctive creative voices and filmmakers who are actively investing in their craft and developing their own body of work.
While we are not currently seeking direct partnership opportunities, potential partnerships are considered on a project-by-project basis and are subject to Maxscene’s current development mandates.


Where can I watch Maxscene films?

Release information, theatrical engagements, screenings, and other viewing opportunities for Maxscene titles will be announced on this website and through Maxscene’s official channels. Visit maxscene.com to explore current and upcoming projects.


Will Maxscene host screenings, panels, workshops, or other experiences?

Yes. Maxscene is designed to extend beyond the screen through experiences that bring filmmakers, creatives, industry leaders, and audiences together. Visit maxscene.com and stay connected for announcements about upcoming screenings, conversations, programs, and events.
