As a seasoned member of the non-fiction production community, you’ve no doubt searched for footage at one time or another. Maybe the experience was painless and efficient -- or maybe it wasn’t. Either way, if you have some thoughts on how the footage industry serves its customers, here’s your chance to weigh in!

Thriving Archives is currently conducting the Footage Buyer Survey – Non-Fiction USA, an independent market research study examining the things that matter most to footage buyers. If you’re a US-based producer of non-fiction programming, a documentary filmmaker or a footage researcher and you’ve licensed or obtained footage in the last three years, we’d be grateful for your opinions on the footage licensing industry.

By providing insight into what matters most to footage buyers, the Footage Buyer Survey will help footage companies better serve their customers.

To show our appreciation, we’ve arranged for each participant who fully completes the Footage Buyer Survey to receive three discount footage coupons, each from a major footage supplier.

The Footage Buyer Survey should take about 15 minutes to complete online. To get started, please click here. All individual responses will be kept strictly confidential.

Also, if you know anyone else who might be interested in participating, please send them out way!
