An aspiring finance-bro assumes he’s in control when a woman walks into his bar, but her presence is no accident; it’s a calculated move to collect a debt. 

Produced through the 2025 NYU Tisch Empowering Indigenous Voices Directive Intensive on Tewa Territory, O’ga P’ogeh (Santa Fe, NM), this short marks the director’s debut working with a professional crew. Collaborative support allowed Maxy to center her focus on writing and directing, while defining the film’s visual language through cinematography and styling.
