Oscilloscope Laboratories is a film production and distribution entity launched in 2008 by Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys.
Yauch modeled the company after the indie record labels he grew up around, choosing films and releasing them with the same artistic integrity with which they were made.
The company, an extension of Yauch’s recording studio, has an in-house DVD distribution and production arm, and its paper packaging is reminiscent of the heyday of LP record jackets.
