AWA publishes
bold & original
works from
trailblazing storytellers
...And brings them to life in
film, television, & beyond.
We take big swings with groundbreaking creative partners.
A comedic action thriller about motherhood from Ronda Rousey? A series of one-shots that shine a light on the next generation of horror talent with Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment?
A mission to create a modern universe of OZ stories that would make L. Frank Baum proud with ShaggyMan Productions? How about pioneering ‘Protopian’ storytelling via a slate of stories with Futurific Studios?
Making the worlds of hip hop and comics collide with Charlamagne Tha God, Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewitz? Or a time-traveling thief beefing with her sister-cop penned by the legendary Garth Ennis?
If you’re looking for something fresh, from maverick artists, writers and artisans, we think you'll fall in love with the worlds we build.
