Ooooo nice! Signed up
Have a feeling the selection process is rather picky though - can we get some insight on that?

@bentossell Hi Ben. The studios are quite picky on the demographics they want to test with. For example, if they're testing a superhero film, they'll either ask for people who are fans of comic book films (if they're testing to cater to the core fanbase), or on another test could also ask for someone who hasn't listed any comic book films (if they're testing for wide appeal and not core base). So the more info we have about the viewer the better data we can give them on who the film is catering to.
We've tried really hard to whittle this list of questions to only the core ones though. They usually ask for more info on education and wage earned traditionally. We've tried to remove as much as possible but still require this rather lengthy form early on.

@sharanr yeah I understand that and obviously makes sense!!
I did feel like the questions perhaps don't consider applications outside of the US. Is this standard?

@bentossell You're right, the at home viewing options are very US skewed, but that's predominantly because of our own experience. But companies increasingly want international audiences, so international signups are most needed.

@sharanr ahh I see....then can I suggest editing the location section of the Typeform.
I don't live in a 'State' - like many others outside of the US :)
