Founder and CEO Maxwell Ford started to get offers for modeling at the
age of 17 but could not pursue the industry at that that time. Instead
he started a ten year effort to build his experience and contacts which
eventually led him to build the Allegiance Films LLC team.
Prior to Allegiance Films LLC, Ford was scouted by Page Parkes Talent Agency where he entered into a two year contract which eventually led to him sign with Ford Models. While with Ford Models, Ford traveled within the U.S. creating campaigns for designers, organizing runway shows, promotional events as well as modeling. The opportunity afforded him certain perks, one of which would eventually become the backbone of Allegiance Films LLC. It also opened doors to key Hollywood executives, directors, producers, casting directors and actors whom Ford has kept in contact with over the years.
Some of these people include: The late John Daly (Producer), Sean Connery (Actor, Producer), Jason Connery (Actor, Director), Matthew McConaughey (Actor, Producer), and Ricki Maslar (Casting Director).
Ford made the decision to further his entertainment career by moving to New York to pursue acting. He was accepted into the New York Film Academy. After his studies of two years, he did theatre work on Broadway for six months.
Ford moved back to Houston and while working on his concept for a story that he felt needed to be told; he worked on small film projects and commercial print modeling. He also organized shows for Bollywood actors. After ten years of gathering information, learning new skills, and establishing key contacts, Ford sets out on his first quest to form Allegiance Films LLC and his first movie project currently titled, Allegiance.
