A24 Team and Actors Reflect on Studio’s Beginnings
A24
Founded in 2012, A24 is still young as far as production studios go. But in ten short years, A24 quickly made itself a household name with high-quality, independent films—a niche they carved themselves.
In an interview with GQ, A24 distribution executive Nicolette Aizenberg talked about filling the perceived void. “It is very cyclical,” she said, recalling how the 2008 recession caused independent studio offshoots to be consolidated into their parent companies. “Miramax, they were a huge deal, and also Fox Searchlight. They came on strong in the late 90s, really. So that was like their heyday. Not heyday. I don’t mean it that way. But more independent existed then. And then, in ‘08, the bubble burst, and the economic downturn probably had a little bit of impact. And then it was consolidation. And yeah, I just think that it takes—it doesn’t happen often that a new studio starts.”
Despite the odds, the studio launched in 2013 with its first five films and rapidly grew into the production giant it is today. Regarding how they reached this level of success, one only has to look to any actor that has worked with A24.
“I’ve had experiences on films in the past where they get bought by somebody who sees something in it that they like, which is nice, but it also happens to be not—and is sometimes antithetical to—what the people who made the film wanted it to be,” said Daniel Radcliffe, who starred in A24’s Swiss Army Man. “When you can get a distribution company that likes the film for the same reasons that people that made it like the film—I’ve found that rare. They’re one of the few companies that have shown that indie films can still be viable.”
