Carl Rinsch

Carl Erik Rinsch (born 1976 or 1977) is an American film and commercial director. He made his feature directorial debut with the 2013 film 47 Ronin.

In 2018, Netflix hired Rinsch to produce a 12-episode series called Conquest and spent $55 million on the project, but it fell apart after production milestones were missed and no episodes were completed. In 2025, he was arrested and charged in a seven-count federal indictment: prosecutors accused Rinsch of defrauding Netflix of $11 million, and spending the money on personal expenses. He was subsequently convicted on all charges, including money laundering and wire fraud.
