- A24 has become a prominent platform for musicians crossing over into acting, featuring artists like Charli XCX, The Weeknd, Megan Thee Stallion, and Tyler, the Creator, often in arthouse and culturally relevant projects.
- The studio actively seeks out musicians for roles, sometimes taking risks on those with limited acting experience, aiming to blend cultural cachet with artistic integrity, according to industry agents and artists involved.
