Daphne Weisbart is President and CEO of MAX Films.

Raised in New York City's Riverdale neighborhood, and a graduate of the prestigious Bronx High School of Science, Daphne earned a BA in political science from SUNY-Binghamton in 1983.

After graduating she settled in Washington, DC, where she spent several years as a staff member for various advocacy organizations.

Moving cross-country to San Francisco in 1987, Daphne’s interest in politics led to a position with Art Agnos’ successful mayoral campaign. Caught by the campaign “bug,” Daphne accepted a position the next year with a much ballyhooed California legislative race. It was on this campaign where she met her future husband and business partner Michael Fenenbock.

Admired for her personal warmth and attention to detail, Daphne is recognized as one of political advertising’s most experienced ad producers and savviest media buyers. She has had executive responsibility and oversight for numerous award-winning advertising campaigns.

Moving east from the Bay Area in 2002, Daphne and Michael live today in New York’s Hudson Valley with a houseful of bird dogs (Vizslas to be precise).
