Your Experience Is Evidence

We want to know how you've been impacted by media consolidation, as a member of the public or industry worker.

We are collecting short, first-hand accounts from filmmakers, film workers, producers, sales agents, exhibitors, audiences, and other professionals to document how media consolidation is affecting the independent film ecosystem.

Your experience helps:

1

Antitrust Regulators

Understand real-world impacts of consolidation

2

Policymakers

Assess harm to competition, culture, and local economies

3

The Field

Advocate with credible, evidence-based stories

We are particularly interested in experiences related to:

  • Fewer buyers & distribution opportunities for indie films
  • Downward pressure on budgets, rates, or resources
  • Reduced or restricted access to audiences
  • Editorial interference or forms of censorship
  • Loss of long-term revenue, IP ownership, or opportunities
  • Less access to films you want to see!

Information can be provided confidentially and anonymously
