60 A24 Screenplays to Download and Study
There's no American film studio/distributor with a better 21st century track record, which is why I curated this collection of scripts for its arthouse gems
A24 launched in 2012, almost immediately making a splash with its release of Spring Breakers the following year. By 2016, they were racking up major awards nominations right and left. Its film Moonlight, released that year and written and directed by Barry Jenkins with a story by Tarell Alvin McCraney, won the Best Picture Oscar in 2017. Since then, it’s a pretty damn safe bet that if A24’s name is on a film, regardless of the genre, it’s going to be great — from The Witch and Hereditary to Everything Everywhere All at Once and Past Lives. You could call it the Miramax of the teens and twenties, but the reality is Miramax was never this consistently brilliant.
So, today, I’ve gone through A24’s extensive catalogue from the past 14 years and selected 60 titles that I think exemplify what made the company so iconic so quickly. Taste is hard to learn, but I think understanding others’ great taste is a better way to get there than stumbling around in the dark.
Below you will find links to 60 A24 scripts for you to download and study. Included are several films from 2025, too, such as awards contenders like The Smashing Machine, Eddington, and Materialists.
All of these screenplays tend to vanish, as all things do on the Internet. Download ASAP for your personal study. And if you want more resources like this one, be sure to check out my other script curations:
