In May 2024, EDGLRD released the film Aggro Dr1ft, directed by Korine and starring Jordi Mollà and Travis Scott. The film has appeared in various venues, theaters, and subsequently in video on demand format via EDGLRD's website.[5]

The EDGLRD skateboarding team is based in Miami, led by skateboarder Sean Pablo.[7] In August 2024, Eric Koston joined EDGLRD.[8]

EDGLRD's film Baby Invasion, a surreal, home invasion thriller, had its world premiere out of competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, on August 31, 2024.
The company's upcoming films include an anime film “The Trap”, an untitled mo-cap assisted comedy, and the feature debut of acclaimed music video director Matias Vasquez, better known as Stillz.[10]
