A24 is an American film distribution, production, and finance company formed in 2012 by marketing and distribution veterans Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges.

Background

A24 began in 2013.[1] The company marked its first theatrical release with Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, which had a limited release. Other 2013 theatrical releases included Sally Potter's Ginger & Rosa, Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, and James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now. In September 2013, A24 entered a $40 million dollar deal with DirecTV Cinema, where DirecTV Cinema will offer the film 30-days prior to a theatrical release by A24; Enemy was the first film to be distributed under the deal.[2] In January 2016, Sarah Lloyd joined the company to handle all film and television distribution and business development in the international marketplace.[3] The company received its first Academy Award for Best Picture nomination for Lenny Abrahamson's Room, as well as the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for Asif Kapadia's Amy, the Academy Award for Best Actress for Brie Larson in Room, and the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for Ex Machina.[4]

Television

In 2014, A24 ventured out of film and began producing the USA Network series Playing House under the A24 name. On May 12, 2015, it was confirmed A24 was officially going to be launching their own TV division, with future projects including an FX pilot featuring Jenny Slate and NBC's The Carmichael Show. The company also announced they will also finance and develop pilots.[5]
