"Outside of Disney, it is rare to find a movie studio that has its own fanbase. Fortunately, the NYC based A24 is no ordinary film studio. In a risk-averse cultural landscape increasingly stuffed with blockbusters, sequels, and remakes, A24 stands out due to their penchant for specialty filmmaking. Often boundary-pushing, challenging, or just plain bizarre, the studio has brought an auteur sensibility back into the mainstream. If the 25 Oscar nominations and devoted fans are any indications, they certainly seem to be doing something right. Films like Hereditary and Moonlight are already well on their way to becoming modern classics and have found their way into our cultural zeitgeist.
Of course, no studio can make hits 100% of the time. A24 deserves all the credit in the world for its willingness to fund the creativity of its artists, but specialty films are inherently a risk. Sometimes they do not find their audience right away and can slip through the cracks."
