A24 Films (marketed and stylized as A24) is an American independent motion picture company formed in 2012 by marketing and distribution veterans Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. The company produces and distributes films as well as television shows.

Since formation, A24 has been one of the most well-known independent film companies. Their films have been nominated for Academy Awards four times, and are creating a television division after their success with The Carmichael Show.

History

Founding and Early Years

A24 was founded in 2012 and 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.

DirecTV and Amazon deals

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] That same year, A24 entered a deal with Amazon Prime, where A24 distributed films would be available on Amazon Instant Video, after they become available on DVD and Blu-Ray.[3] In January 2016, Sarah Lloyd joined the company to handle all film and television distribution and business development in the international marketplace.[4]

Academy Awards and Continued growth

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.[5]

Future television division

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 reported that A24 would 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.[6]

Theatrical version

A24's logo was designed by creative agency GrandArmy. According to the agency's website, "They needed an identity system that felt modern and progressive, yet aesthetically they were drawn to the golden age of mid-century Hollywood, and looked for a solution that would hint at that history.[7] The animator was Adam Grabowski, and the sound design was mixed by Felt, Not Heard.[8]

Alternate versions

An alternate version not picked by A24 is available on Grabowski's Vimeo channel. It is the same font as the theatrical version, but with a different animation.[9]
