Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a real conversation with Max Caulfield? The character has headlined two video games in the Life is Strange series, delighting players with a quirky sense of humor and quietly introspective perspective on the world surrounding her. I've always thought Max was a wonderful fictitious entity, until I sat down with Hannah Telle. Spend any amount of time with the actor responsible for bringing Max to life and you'll quickly realize that she is a very real reflection of the character.
Telle reprised her role as Max Caulfield in Life is Strange: Double Exposure, which tracks the character's life some 10 years after the climactic events in Arcadia Bay. Another mystery propelled by supernatural shenanigans is the draw, but it's the opportunity to reconnect with Max which acts as the propellant through it. Following my deep dive into Double Exposure with game director Jon Stauder and narrative director Felice Kuan, I spoke with Telle to better understand the challenge of reconnecting with such an iconic character.
