Activism
The Hooked Project
In October 2015, Max announced his intention to produce an independent film entitled "Hooked" addressing the problems of homeless LGBT youth. In October 2016, Max Emerson posted the trailer for his new film.
"Hooked" tells the story of Jack: a homeless teenage prostitute with a smart mouth and impulsive tendencies. He battles through a violent world of reckless johns between New York City and Miami, desperately seeking a better life with his boyfriend Tom.
The story depicts a harsh world where even good intentions can cause ruinous results. Without pointing fingers at any particular group, HOOKED shows how even the gay community is contributing to the perpetuation of the LGBT homeless youth problem. The allegory is not completely bleak, however; hope is found through the humanity in both the leading couple and (eventually) even the married closet case antagonist, Ken.

In June 2016, Max publicly introduced his boyfriend, Andres Camilo, in a YouTube video.
