Today's episode is a conversation with Russell Binder and Marc Mostman, founders of Striker Entertainment.  

 Russell and Marc found their way to licensing via restaurants and toys, then found each other over Dippin' Dots and formed Striker Entertainment.  

With their first big hit, the Twilight franchise, Striker became known for translating spooky entertainment brands into consumer product programs and experiences. Their current client list includes Creepshow, The Walking Dead, and Coraline. 

Since many of their properties have started as publishing or gaming products, their business now runs the gamut from post-production licensing management all the way into early stage entertainment production.  

Thanks to Russell and Marc for this incredible conversation; and to our sound engineer, Christophe Zajac-Denek for recording, editing, and mixing this episode.
