Jon Kamen and Frank Scherma launched Radical in 1993 doing TV commercials it then expanded into film, television and digital content, graphic and interactive design, smartphones and tablet apps and live events.
Radical is a few blocks away from the old Miramax digs on Hudson Street. They created a market where there was one company attracting everyone,” Wilkes said. “When I was coming out of NYU, Miramax was the cool place. “We’re focused on New York stories and New York-based talent,” said prexy of entertainment Justin Wilkes, who likes to think of Radical Media as Gotham’s new Miramax for the digital age. “Forever” will be produced entirely in Gotham. As such they’re of particular attraction to Tribeca-based Radical, which developed the Made in NY logo and was honored in June by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for contributions to the New York entertainment industry. Hamill’s a prolific writer whose works, including the latest “Tabloid City,” are often hymns to Gotham. The first exhibit, a giant holographic whale, is scheduled for early 2014.
Radical and architect David Rockwell have partnered to develop a slate of traveling “location-based experiences” showcasing cutting-edge environmental and digital technology. It also has a development deal with Grant Achatz, chef and owner of Alinea in Chicago, for a TV series and live event. Other upcoming Radical projects include “Island Sessions” with Chris Blackwell for PBS with Fremantle distributing internationally.
