History

[edit]

In August 2020, it was announced Emma Stone and Dave McCary had launched Fruit Tree, a production company producing film and television series, with a first-look television deal at A24.[1] In October 2020, Ali Herting joined the company as a producer.[2]

The company's debut feature When You Finish Saving the World, directed by Jesse Eisenberg, premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival in January 2022. The film was released in January 2023, by A24.[3] Fruit Tree's first television project The Curse, starring Stone alongside co-creators Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, premiered on Showtime in November 2023.

Fruit Tree once again collaborated with A24 on Problemista, directed, written and co-starring Julio Torres. The film was released in March 2024.[4] I Saw the TV Glow, written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, was released in theaters by A24 on 3 May 2024.[5] Fantasmas, a second collaboration with Torres, premiered on HBO on June 7, 2024.[6]

A Real Pain, a second collaboration with Eisenberg, is due to be released in October 2024 by Searchlight Pictures.[7]
