A24, a producer and distributor of independent films, has only been around since 2012, but in just four years, the young company has already managed to establish itself as a potent brand name with a string of impressive releases, including (but not limited to) Room, Obvious Child, Spring Breakers, The End Of The Tour, and more. Last September, in a piece for Slate, David Erlich made a case for A24 as a potential savior of the moribund film industry. In a landscape dominated by big-budget, major studio franchise films, generally built on famous existing properties, A24 has proven itself able to make and market “challenging and essential medium-budget movies that most in the business left for dead.” By continuing to make smart choices and support innovative artists, A24 has the potential to be what Miramax was to a previous era of cinema.
