Excellent Cadaver

Excellent Cadaver is an American film and television production company founded by actress Jennifer Lawrence in 2018.

History
In 2018, Excellent Cadaver was founded by actress Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence produces with her producing partner, Justine Polsky.

In October 2018, it was announced that the company had signed a first-look deal with Makeready, who will finance and produce independently with Excellent Cadaver, or through Makeready's finance and production deals with Universal Pictures and Entertainment One.

Filmmaker Don Herzfeldt was approached by Lawrence to create an animated logo for the company. The logo was featured in the company's first feature film, Causeway. In January 2023, Causeway went on to receive the company's first Academy Award nomination for Brian Tyree Henry in the Best Supporting Actor category.

In 2023, the company’s second feature film, No Hard Feelings, grossed over $89 million at the box office and earned Lawrence a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. That same year, the company's first documentary and third production, Bread and Roses directed by Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani, about the 2021 Taliban takeover’s effects on women premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim.
