In this episode of the Marketing and Distribution Podcast, Alex Stolz is joined by Maxwell Riesberg, founder and CEO of Rascal (RSCL) Films – a bold new theatrical-first studio on a mission to bring international action films the big-screen releases they deserve. With a background that includes award-winning campaigns for A Quiet Place and Bumblebee, Maxwell shares how Rascal aims to become the 'A24 of action cinema' by combining cutting-edge AI dubbing technology, premium marketing, and a community-first approach to distribution. He explains how Rascal is building an identity-driven brand that speaks directly to underserved action fans across the U.S., why theatrical still matters, and how user-generated content is shaping the future of film marketing. A deep dive into genre strategy, branding, AI, and the power of building direct audience relationships — this is a must-listen for anyone shaping the future of film distribution. About Maxwell Riesberg Maxwell Riesberg is an accomplished producer, storyteller, and creative advertising professional, as well a seasoned entrepreneur with two successful exits. He is the Founder of RSCL, the first film distribution company devoted exclusively to action cinema. Built as a consumer-facing lifestyle brand, RSCL represents a radical rethinking of film distribution for the AI era, focused on building meaningful, direct relationships with audiences through exceptional international action films, innovative partnerships, and community building. Previously, Maxwell founded Paradise Creative, an advertising agency that specializes in theatrical trailers & digital campaigns for films and TV shows.  Maxwell led the company from a two-person upstart into an industry powerhouse, cementing the agency's status as a go-to partner for clients including Amazon Studios, Warner Bros, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Hulu, HBO Max, Netflix, and many others.  In addition to generating millions of box office dollars and delivering untold eyeballs to streaming titles, Maxwell & the Paradise team garnered many notable awards, including seven wins at the prestigious Clio Awards.  Maxwell was Chief Executive Officer of the agency, until engineering his exit in 2021. Before that, Maxwell founded Lord Danger, a boutique commercial production company.  He developed an in-demand roster of bold commercial directors, sourcing their campaigns and managing their career trajectories.  Clients included Lawrence Lamont, Mike Diva, and Gille Klabin.  Maxwell worked hand-in-hand as producer on his clients' works, from conceptualization all the way through post-production.  Lord Danger created music videos for some of the biggest acts in music (Major Lazer, J. Cole, Steve Aoki, Big Sean, et al) as well as iconic commercials for house-name brands including 1-800-Contacts & Meow Mix.  Maxwell was Co-Chief Executive Officer of the company, leading it to its acquisition in 2015. Maxwell's work has been written about extensively, including in The Hollywood Reporter, Ad Age, Fast Company, Deadline, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Indiewire, and CNN.  And Eater LA. Maxwell loves to travel, both abroad but also to the furthest reaches of Los Angeles in search of its best food.  When he's not on the road, he enjoys seeing (almost) every movie in theatres, appreciating dogs, rooting for Red Bull Formula 1 and (tragically) the Chicago Bears, and working on his tennis game.
