A24

A24 Films LLC, commonly referred to as A24, is an American independent entertainment company specializing in film and television production, as well as film distribution. They are best known for distributing and producing modern arthouse and cult films, including The Witch (2015), Moonlight (2016), Lady Bird (2017), Hereditary (2018), The Lighthouse (2019), Uncut Gems (2019), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), The Iron Claw (2023), Past Lives (2023), The Brutalist (2024), Civil War (2024), Friendship (2024), and Marty Supreme (2025). The New York-based company was founded in 2012 by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. All had worked in film and production before leaving their positions to co-found the company, originally A24 Films, which specialized in film distribution. Starting with Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III in 2012, the company's growth began with the release of Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers later that year. In 2014, A24 picked up the American rights to Ex Machina and Room in 2015, before obtaining worldwide rights to Robert Eggers' The Witch, which was released theatrically in 2015. In late 2013, they entered into deals with Amazon Prime Video and DirecTV Cinema. The name was changed to just A24 in 2016. That same year, A24's Moonlight premiered and later won three Oscars from eight nominations, including the Academy Award for Best Picture. In 2022, A24 produced the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and six more Oscars; the film also received acclaim from both audiences and critics. It was their first film to reach $100 million at the box office. A24's television division, launched in 2015, has produced programs that include At Home with Amy Sedaris (2017–2020), Beef (2023–present), The Carmichael Show (2015–2017), Euphoria (2019–present), Hazbin Hotel (2024–present), I'm Sorry (2017–2019), Irma Vep (2022), Mo (2022–2025), Mr. Corman (2021), Ramy (2019–2022), and Ziwe (2021–2022). The company has also worked with writer-directors, including Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Darren Aronofsky, Sean Baker, the Daniels, Danny and Michael Philippou, Alex Garland, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Rose Glass, Celine Song, Joanna Hogg, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sean Durkin, Kristoffer Borgli, David Lowery, Halina Reijn, Mike Mills, and the Safdie brothers. A24 has developed a reputation for their passionate fanbase, described as an independent film "cult". Its projects have also had a major influence on style in contemporary horror and arthouse films, among other areas. A24 is also known for the originality and artistic style of films it produces, generally shunning the style of films produced or released by the major film studios, although as of 2023, in its latest films, it followed more commercial proposals.
