A24 is an American independent entertainment company that specializes in film and television production, as well as film distribution. It was founded in August 2012 and has developed a reputation as a powerhouse in independent film with a passionate fanbase. A24 is known for producing original films that generally shun the style of films produced and/or released by the Big Five studios. The company has produced over 100 films, many of which have received widespread critical acclaim. Some of the most popular A24 films include Moonlight, Lady Bird, and Hereditary. A24 is also known for championing specific cinematic voices and for the creativity and laser-like precision of their marketing and releases. The studio is arguably best known as a clearinghouse for semi-autobiographical dramedies, but it has also carved out a niche in the world of horror. A24 films are auteur-driven and visually stunning with an offbeat sense of humor and a setting or perspective that is unique.
