MountainA is an American film and television production company founded in September 2020 by Israeli-born American actress and producer Natalie Portman and French producer Sophie Mas. It is known for producing the films May December (2023) and Arco (2025), and the television series Lady in the Lake (2024).

History

The company was founded on September 4, 2020, by Israeli-born American actress, producer, and director Natalie Portman and French producer and author Sophie Mas.[1][2] The company gets its name from the Sisyphus myth, Portman and Mas' shared interest in mountains, and the "A" from the first letter of all of Portman and Mas' children's names.[3]

In March 2021, the company entered a exclusive multi-year first look television production deal with Apple Inc.[2][4]
