Adobe exec Scott Belsky departs for indie movie studio A24

Scott Belsky, chief strategy officer at Adobe, has announced his departure from the tech giant to join A24, the renowned independent movie studio known for producing hits like “Civil War” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

Belsky initially joined Adobe in 2012 following the acquisition of Behance. He briefly departed in 2016 to work as a venture capitalist at Benchmark but eventually returned to Adobe, where he held the position of executive vice president of design and emerging products.

A24, on the other hand, was established in 2012 and quickly gained a loyal following for its unique approach to filmmaking, particularly in the horror genre with movies like “Hereditary.” The studio has also received critical acclaim for its diverse range of films and has even secured two Best Picture Oscars for “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and “Moonlight.”

Despite its indie roots, A24 has been making moves to expand its commercial reach by raising significant funding rounds at a valuation of $3.25 billion. This signals the studio’s ambitions to compete on a larger scale in the entertainment industry.

In a recent announcement on X, Belsky revealed that he would be joining A24 as a partner, where he will be spearheading several special projects. He expressed his excitement to collaborate with his new partners in supporting A24’s mission of championing the world’s top storytellers.
