Radical Friend is an American directing duo consisting of filmmakers Julia Grigorian and Kirby McClure. They are known for creating music videos for artists Yeasayer,[1] Skrillex,[2] Black Moth Super Rainbow,[3] and H09909.[4]

Grigorian and McClure met and began collaborating before graduating from art school.[5] Following a string of innovative music videos, they were profiled by Vice and Intel's "The Creators Project" in 2010[6] and Filmmaker Magazine included them as one of the "25 New Faces of Independent Film".[7]

In 2013 they were commissioned by Lexus to create "Design Disrupted", a live performance starring Coco Rocha that combined holographic technology, avant-garde dance, and 3D projection mapping.[8] That year they premiered their short experimental film "SWEAT" at the Toronto International Film Festival.[9]

Rolling Stone Germany featured Radical Friend as one of 50 "People Who Will Change the Future of Music”.[10]

In 2016 Radical Friend was approached by Britney Spears and MTV to create a short film announcing her return to the MTV VMAS.[11] They are signed with Partizan for world wide representation.[12]

Radical Friend have directed commercials for brands like Honda,[13] Superdry,[14] KFC,[15] Adidas,[16] Instax,[17] and Netflix.[18]
