Talk to Me, Moonlight, Beau is Afraid, The Lighthouse, Lady Bird, Hereditary, The Disaster Artist, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Ex Machina, Uncut Gems, and Under the Skin. All great films and spectacular works that left audiences captivated by storytelling, design, and presented actors in roles that changed our view of them. What ties these films together is the fact that they are from the same studio: A24 Studios.
It Was a Passion
It was 2012 when Daniel Katz was traveling in Rome with a couple of friends. Katz was dreaming of a film company of his own will cruising along the A24 motorway. This drive would be the very moment when he would have the clarity to begin what he had always wanted to have. Katz had experience in the film industry as a finance specialist and wanted his studio to be associated with artistic film dreamers without the big label slapped onto it. Partnering with David Fenkel and John Hodges, A24 Studios took its baby steps into film distribution, utilizing social media outlets, such as YouTube, to market their works and merchandise.
The Bloom of a Studio
The non-traditional marketing on social media allowed the team to endorse their films without financial loss. On social media platforms, they brought the world of films closer to the audience by making accounts for the characters of the movies. With humorous merchandise also selling like hotcakes, the future audience generated the hype for A24 Studios. Katz wanted the talents to have full creative control from the start and did not play favorites by genre. In four years, all these factors pushed A24 Studios into the limelight as a distributor of stylistic and critically acclaimed movies.
A24 Studio as of 2025
Since its debut, the studio has transformed from a distributor of indie films to a magnum opus production company with a companion list of award-winning films, TV shows, and documentaries. Even with bigger shoes to fill, they still have not forgotten their roots of why they started. Their media have a signature theme of artistic flow, but all stand independently of one another. As of 2025, they are still releasing media that people are eagerly waiting for, such as Hazbin Hotel, Bring Her Back, and The Brutalist, just to name a few.
