About us

Finance, production and distribution under one roof.

Rascal Entertainment combines film production with deep social media expertise, built to solve the problems independent filmmakers actually face: raising money, getting films seen and building careers that last.

We raise finance, produce our own films, invest in other productions, distribute, and run social media and marketing. We also work with new formats, from AI-assisted tools to vertical film. British at our core and looking to international stages, we are always open to the right partners, stories and talent.

A note from our Managing DirectorDaniel O'ReillyActor, writer, producer and comedian

I got tired of waiting to be cast in the stories I wanted to tell. So I stopped waiting, and started creating the films I wanted to act in.

Building an audience of more than 7 million across social media, and generating billions of views, showed me first-hand how outdated the traditional routes for funding and distributing independent film still are.

We launched on the back of Sessions, the British drama I wrote and starred in, directed by Giles Alderson and produced with Hyprr Films. Since then we have built an extensive network of investors, writers and collaborators and moved into larger co-productions such as Going Under. Our aim is to give independent voices a modern path from idea to audience.
