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 distribute and produce arthouse films, many of which have gone on to develop cult followings. Some of their most notable films include Spring Breakers (2012), Under the Skin (2013), Ex Machina (2014), Room (2015), The Witch (2015), Moonlight (2016), Good Time (2017), Lady Bird (2017), Hereditary (2018), The Lighthouse (2019), Uncut Gems (2019), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), The Whale (2022), The Iron Claw (2023), Past Lives (2023), The Brutalist (2024), Civil War (2024), Friendship (2024), Marty Supreme (2025), The Invite (2026) and Backrooms (2026). 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, 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. A24 picked up the American rights to Ex Machina in 2014 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. Four years...
