Radical move for ex-MTV factual boss

US prodco Radical Media has recruited former MTV docs and specials boss Dave Sirulnick as partner and exec producer.

At Radical, which makes shows including AOL’s Steve Buscemi series Park Bench (pictured) and Netflix’s What Happened, Miss Simone?”, Sirulnick work alongside Radical Entertainment chief Justin Wilkes and VP and executive producer Dave O’Connor.

Radical said its new recruit would expand its slate of films, docs, digital series, music programming and live events.

“RadicalMedia is at the forefront of creating high quality, cutting-edge programming for all platforms,” said Sirulnick.

“I can’t think of another independent studio that is able to generate the scope and breadth of work that Radical does on the highest level – from TV, film, digital, music events and videos to some of the world’s largest and most recognised brand campaigns.”

At MTV his credits included Catfish: The TV Show, Made, Cribs and My Super Sweet 16. He also oversaw music docs on stars including Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, and Demi Lovato.

Sirulnick also ran MTV’s daily news operation including the ten year run of the weekly news program Week in Rock and Total Request Live.
