See what AL Dante Club is
In this short video, Max explains what happens inside the Club and how it differs from a recorded course or private mentoring.
A live monthly learning program built around current AL Dante projects
AL Dante Club follows the work Max is doing now: food shoots, lighting setups, camera and lens tests, editing, channel experiments, mistakes, and new discoveries.
Four core live online sessions each month
- 01 One focused lesson A practical deep dive into one important food videography topic, followed by live questions and discussion about that subject.
- 02 One real AL Dante project breakdown Preparation, lighting, shooting choices, footage, edit, mistakes, and final result.
- 03 One live Q&A One question can be submitted any time during the current program month; submissions close 3 hours before the session. Up to 20 questions are then selected at random. Members selected in the previous Q&A sit out one draw when there are more entries than places.
- 04 One member critique session One video together with your account can be submitted any time during the current program month; submissions close 3 hours before the session. Up to 20 entries are then selected at random. Members selected in the previous critique sit out one draw when there are more entries than places.
All four core sessions run online, live. There is nowhere to travel to.
Additional throughout the month
- At least one live editing work session Max edits a real project, usually in DaVinci Resolve. The day may vary, and there may be more than one session. This is a working stream, not a prepared class.
- Community posts and polls Short notes, useful references, discussion, and voting on future topics. There is no fixed posting schedule or guaranteed reply time; Max joins the conversation as time allows.
Online session schedule
Sessions run on Sat, 12:00 PM EDT. Join online from anywhere.

Let Max follow your progress
When you join, you can add your Instagram account. Max can follow member work and the overall direction of progress, notice strong results, and point out recurring or obvious problems.
He may occasionally give a short suggestion in the community or privately when he sees something useful. Continuous personal coaching and a guaranteed individual review are not included.
A more personal side
The Club may also include informal posts about creative discipline, fitness, food, books, films, and the habits behind long-term work. These are personal community posts, not a guaranteed monthly program.
Who it is for
- You create or want to create cinematic food content.
- You want to see real decisions and real work, not only polished final lessons.
- You are comfortable learning in English and joining an international community.
- You want steady practice and group learning without the price of private mentoring.
What is not included
- This is not a complete step-by-step course on day one.
- A personal review or personal answer for every member is not guaranteed.
- The Club does not promise daily content, guaranteed income, or access that continues after the end of your paid period.
- AL Dante Food Videography Course
A structured recorded foundation with lifetime access to that product.
- AL Dante Club $49.99/month
Current monthly work, live sessions, new material, and community access while your subscription is active.
- AL Dante Intensive
A separate limited live program when announced.

Private work with Max.
Do I need to travel anywhere?
No. The Club is fully online: sessions run live and you take part from any country. If the time does not suit you, the recording stays open while your membership is active.
What language is the Club in?
The main sessions and community communication are in English.
Do I receive the complete old archive?
No. You receive the starting materials and the sessions included in the months you pay for.
Are sessions recorded?
Core lessons, project breakdowns, Q&A sessions, and critique sessions are recorded unless a technical or confidentiality issue prevents it. Long working streams may be split into parts or available for a limited time.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel anytime. Access continues until the end of the paid period.
Do I keep Club recordings after I cancel?
No. Club materials and community access stay open until the end of your paid period: cancelling does not cut you off straight away, access ends with the month you paid for. Any separate course you purchased keeps its own access rules.
Will Max review my account?
You can submit work. Up to 20 entries are drawn at random for each critique session; an individual review for every member is not guaranteed.
