A24 is an American independent entertainment company that specializes in film and television production, as well as film distribution. The company was founded in 2012 by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. A24 has developed a reputation as a powerhouse in independent film with a passionate fanbase. 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 of films it produces, generally shunning the style of films produced and/or released by the Big Five studios.
A24 produces and distributes films and television shows, and has several divisions including A24 Music, A24 Television, A24 International, and A24 All Access (AAA24). The company has also acquired several subsidiaries, including 2AM. A24 has a relatively small number of employees, with 295 as of 2021.
A24 has produced and distributed a wide range of films, including Moonlight, Uncut Gems, Lady Bird, and Midsommar. The company has also been involved in the production of television shows, such as HBOs Euphoria. A24 is known for taking risks on films from established outsider filmmakers and giving them a shot in the theatrical space.
While A24 doesnt produce all of its films, it does produce some, and when they only do distribution, theyre responsible for not just securing theaters and DVD/streaming deals, but theyre also responsible for researching and implementing marketing. Theyre essentially curators, with occasional production input.
