I saw this mentioned on another forum (I think KSMO) and it sounded interesting. The Maxwell Multiple Climax DVD seemed like a fun and informative way to teach MMO techniques albeit on a very basic level, from what others have written. I checked out a few clips on Youtube and found it engaging and pretty funny. Also being a film fan and finding out this was shot on Super 16 really piqued my interest (maybe one day we'll get a 4K scan and a blu-ray). It's even semi-legit, being an official selection at a couple festivals and has been reviewed by Film Threat. Of course there was little said about the DVD that wasn't 5+ years old, but as the (admittedly dated Flash-based) website was still up I decided to take a chance and buy it. Unfortunately there is no one running the website or checking emails, fulfilling orders, etc. And as Flash is about to be discontinued the website is pretty well broken already. I got Paypal to give me a refund ($23.90 altogether) as I never received my order. Of course the DVD is a rather outdated technology these days and physical media is not en vogue with the kids but I'm disappointed that this isn't still going in another format. I'm also sad that there seem to be no used copies on Amazon or Ebay as I doubt now that I will ever get to see it one way or another.
Well that just sucks... the only thing we can hope for is that someone here has a copy they want to part with and could sell to you. That's a longshot. I clicked on this thread lightning fast since I had never heard of it and I'm always looking for new material.
I wonder if the producer could be contacted somehow, I can't believe he would just drop his movie like that? I'll keep my eyes open for a physical copy and would like to ask other members here if they can do the same. There must be one out there in the wild somewhere...
I've got a copy of the DVD. Just hit me up and we'll find a solution.

Sorry for the "late to the party" post. I've finally caught up after being away & wanted to respond to your post darkorb.
If you'd like any assistance ripping that DVD of yours I'd be willing to help with that. We can discuss in a private message. So by all means, contact me there if you'd like. If I don't hear from you there, I'll assume it's all settled.
@glandrake Thanks for thinking of me! I wouldn't consider this a necropost yet, not by a long shot. If indeed Maxwell has abandoned his copyright then that makes a good solution and @darkorb and I were working out a deal to buy his DVD copy, but I did finally receive some communication from Mr.Brandon Maxwell himself, a few days before Christmas. The plot thickens:
"I'm so sorry I didn't respond to your order. Our site had an email migration issue we didn't discover until now. It's our fault too since we haven't been on-it amid the pandemic. By way of apology I'd like to send you a free DVD, with no strings attached..."
Naturally I'm taking him up on this, though I'm waiting for shipping confirmation at the moment; I was planning on updating this topic once I could actually confirm he was operating and fulfilling orders. Right now I'm just waiting but with the holidays I'm sure there's a lot going on.
Hey guys I thought I'd give some closure to this thread (with a happy ending to boot). Maxwell did in fact send me a DVD! I'm happy that the organization, such as it is (possibly just one guy), is still around and fulfilling orders, answering emails, etc. It would be nice to see an up-to-date website as everything about it screams 2004 and as I uninstalled Flash it's pretty broken...if anyone else has that problem but is interested in purchasing the DVD you can get the direct link to the page here. As they sent me a free DVD the least I could do is give it an honest review:
In short, I like it. Coming from the Aneros mindset I find everything to be a bit entry-level and penis-centric but for what it is I think it gives some good advice. Have I tried the techniques out yet? No, but then I try to avoid traditional masturbation as much as possible, and so also haven't tried much in Love Satisfies either, which comes from the same way of thinking. It all seems to be sound advice, though I don't think that there's necessarily anything new here and it definitely doesn't go too in-depth into technique. Maxwell paints in generalities; that way might actually help people get a basic idea and encourage them to explore deeper. Of course that will probably mean reading at some point. I have watched a few Youtube videos on the subject and while some of them are informative and useful, they are certainly lacking in presentation.
The Maxwell Multiple Climax DVD's greatest strength is in its ability to effectively communicate its information in a concise 30min package that's easily digestible and fun to watch (literally, but also meaning it's definitely adult-oriented). But to someone who's watched some of the standard streaming video content available this is a breath of fresh air because it's an actual film with actors, production value, a score, and even more, it's actually a competent film! And as a film buff I appreciate that. It's not about to get added to the Criterion Collection (though I would totally buy a blu-ray if it ever came out; it was shot on 16mm and mastered in 1080p HD), but as far as I know it's a one-of-a-kind product that deserves more attention than it's received. I didn't find out about it until a few months ago and it would appear I almost missed the boat.
With a website that hasn't changed since it was put up and the fact that the business model is based around selling DVDs I don't know how much longer this will still be going on. I think I said in my initial post that I'm a fan of physical media but I don't know how many others of my generation are and certainly the market moves more toward online streaming every day. Hopefully Maxwell has made enough money on it that he isn't working in a coffee shop somewhere, but considering that it seems to be aimed at: 1) young males, and 2) specifically people that wouldn't pick up a book, I don't think that the lazy people who want everything on Netflix will be buying many $20 DVDs these days. I'd like to see Maxwell revamp his website, put the film online for (paid) streaming, something more to keep it relevant for today's market.
I have no idea who Brandon Maxwell is beyond what I've seen in the DVD but it's a shame that he never made this concept into a series going more in-depth in multiple volumes, creating an MMO empire (perhaps that was the hope originally). In fact Maxwell seems to be a gifted filmmaker and it's a shame he's never made anything else in any genre. To wrap up here are a few other reviews I've found and didn't link in my original post:
-Ink19's review
-Pan's review on multiples.com (yes, our Pan though that was before my time)
It's not really talked about enough and I hope a few others will be willing to buy it.
