A24 has emerged as one of the most innovative production companies in recent years. While the films it produces span all genres – horror, documentary, comedy and more – the entertainment house has become synonymous with a particular aesthetic.
The company has attracted individual filmmakers such as Sofia Coppola, Ari Aster, Yorgos Lanthimos and Barry Jenkins, who have helped define the company’s creative ethos to the point where the film is often easily recognizable as an A24 production. And her films aren’t just underground hits, either. Many of them, such as Minari, The Zone of Interest, and Everywhere Everywhere All at One, also won Oscars.

Swiss Army Man (2016)
Where to watch: Kanopy, Plex, Tubi, Pluto TV
Swiss Army Man is the feature film debut of directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (collectively known as Daniels), who wrote and directed the Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All At One. The surreal black comedy film stars Daniel Radcliffe as the corpse of a man named Manny, and Paul Dano as Hank, a man stranded on a deserted island who uses Manny’s body to help get him off the island. Completely bizarre and entirely original, the film is a major departure from Radcliffe’s Harry Potter character, and ultimately a story of friendship between a man and a very bloated corpse who helps him find his way home.
Before teaming up with Emma Stone for their fruitful film partnership, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos directed the 2017 thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman. In the film, the stars play a married couple, Stephen and Anna, who take in a teenager named Martin (Barry Keoghan) who has evil intentions of breaking up their family to get revenge on Stephen for something he did in his past.
