Over the years, indie film companies have tackled freakish cultural
abnormalities, from unutterable sexual taboos to all manner of other
transgressive topics. But not long ago, executives at A24, arguably the
reigning champion of American art-house films—which recently put out a
movie called Dicks: The Musical that featured a flying, animated
vagina—attempted to do something truly beyond the pale by even the
libertine standards of its cohort. A24 pursued a deal to make
league-sanctioned films for the NFL. “For us, it was like, how do you take

and vibe?” says A24’s head of TV and nonfiction, Ravi Nandan, without irony.
