Thanks for your interest in taking the first Producer Foundry State of the Industry research survey. Producer Foundry has partnered with Media Research Associates (MRA), Stage32, and Fandor to do a survey of the state of the independent filmmaker. As far as we know, this is the first survey of its kind.
We aim to take the pulse of the film industry, and provide valuable data for filmmakers when planning their career. Much of this data is not publicly available. By making this data more publicly available, we hope to reveal some of the mysteries that keep the power in the hands of major players, and help create new services and companies that will enable filmmakers to run more effective productions and companies.
By taking 10-12 minutes or less to fill out this survey, you are helping to unravel the mysteries of the film industry.
