Audiences

Exit polls
We carry out exit poll surveys for all the films we support through our Prints and Advertising Fund. Exit polls are standard practice for major releases, but much less so for smaller or independent films.
By asking cinemagoers about themselves and what motivated them to see a film, exit poll researchers can help film distributors improve the way they distribute and market their films, which may ultimately lead to bigger and more satisfied audiences.
