EXCLUSIVE: Veteran entertainment lawyer and business strategist Jason Beekman has exited his role as VP and Head of Business & Legal Strategy at RadicalMedia to join director and former Imagine Documentaries showrunner Ryan Miller in co-founding new production company, Wise Child Studios.
Intended to marry the robust legal and business acumen of a larger studio with the distinguished creative vision and filmmaker-centric attention of a boutique shop, Wise Child will work with the industry’s best, from award winners to emerging talent, in the telling of thought-provoking and character-driven stories.
The company is developing most of its projects from the ground up and will also handle post-production and sales for its titles.
Having already built a robust slate across scripted and non-fiction series, features, and podcasts, Wise Child’s projects in development include an investigative series with AMC; the feature doc Up the River about a 1972 concert at Sing Sing Prison, headlined by BB King, with RadicalMedia and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Pollard (MLK/FBI); the doc Color Bars on the life of Black broadcast journalist pioneer Max Robinson, with CNN’s Victor Blackwell and Emmy-nominated director James Adolphus; a true crime podcast with Campside Media; a scripted feature about “father of country music,” Jimmie Rodgers; and a scripted series about journalist and early AIDS activist, Randy Shilts.
