With the release of A24's The Drama, we thought it would be a great time to take a moment to talk about A24 as a studio. When it comes to independent films and Oscar-winning successes, no indie film studio has exploded in popularity and name recognition to the same degree as A24, winning Best Picture twice (Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All at Once) in its 14-year existence.

For some, A24 is a brand, it's an aesthetic, it's a way of life. And for others, it's an arbiter of quality, an immediate tastemaker of film culture and the beacon of emerging, exciting artists. The boutique indie studio was inspired by the idea of three industry film veterans, Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges, who wanted to be the home for more artistically innovative films. 

After 200+ films and a vault of Oscars, we're going to talk about the studio's award successes, why they work and sometimes don't work, what they represent in the film's space, why their merchandise is so expensive, and what their future is going forward.
