Oscilloscope Laboratories is a special company that works with movies and music. It's an independent film company, which means it makes and shares movies without being part of a huge studio. They also have a recording studio and a place to produce films.
This company was started in 2006 by Adam Yauch and David Fenkel. Adam Yauch was a famous musician, known for being a member of the band Beastie Boys. David Fenkel used to work for another film company called TH!NKFilm.
After Oscilloscope Laboratories began, David Fenkel left for a short time. He went on to help create another well-known film company called A24. However, he returned to Oscilloscope after Adam Yauch passed away in May 2012.
In 2008, Dan Berger became the president of Oscilloscope. The next year, in 2009, the company made a deal with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. This helped them share their films even more widely.
Oscilloscope Laboratories is known for releasing many different kinds of films. They often choose unique and interesting movies that might not be shown by bigger studios.
