Industry Quotes
"Reelin’ In The Years has the definitive catalog for many of the greatest acts in popular music history. That has made them the go-to supplier for material on many of the major documentaries we have worked on at White Horse Pictures. What so attracts me is that the company, and its principals, are always there to help with suggestions and ideas to fill out clips and material we are looking for to make our documentaries wonderful. They do a great job for their rights holders, but equally, they bring their taste, energy, and user-friendly attitude to helping us licensees!"
Nigel SinclairOSCAR, GRAMMY, EMMY-winning Director/Producer"I met David Peck and partnered with him in 2014, a year after Dad died. He has been totally central to everything we’ve done with The David Frost Archive since, and without him and his team at Reelin’ In The Years Productions, huge swathes of Dad’s work wouldn’t be restored and available in the way that it is today. He is the ultimate archivist—extraordinarily passionate about what he does and the footage he represents; always putting my interests first; while also commercially savvy and maximising the value of the footage we have."
Wilfred FrostCEO Paradine Productions, Anchor, Sky News and CNBC."I’ve worked closely with David Peck and his team at Reelin’ In The Years on dozens of documentary productions. David’s stewardship of the archival content that he represents is truly impressive. He is incredibly knowledgeable about every piece of archival footage that he represents, and takes a hands-on approach to make sure that we get just the right material for our projects. He’s also set up an efficient and streamlined system to electronically deliver screener and master footage within hours of receiving an order. Working with David through every phase of production, from research and development through licensing, is a pleasure."
Valarie BarskyClearance & Research Supervisor and Archival Producer"I am so excited to be in business with David Peck & Reelin’ In The Years Productions. They are the gold standard of footage archives and I’m appreciative of their intense work they put into fully restoring my archive of the one of a kind interviews I conducted, along with the world class performers I had as my guests."
Rick DeesAward-winning radio/TV personality and hit songwriter/artist"Digging through archival footage from Reelin’ In The Years Productions always inspires a WOW moment. When it comes to music documentaries, RITY has always been instrumental, but now that the company has such a wealth of material outside the scope of music footage, they’re indispensable to any archival project."
Morgan NevilleOSCAR-winning director"There are music clip companies and then there is Reelin’ In the Years. Over the course of the last couple of years, I have come to appreciate their deep music library as well as the deep music knowledge of the staff at the company. In my experience there are very few companies in any genre of the entertainment business that actually care about the customer. Reelin’ In The Years is one of those rare companies."
Peter AftermanProducer of It Might Get Loud and Mr. Dynamite: The Rise Of James Brown"I have worked with Reelin’ In The Years since their inception and they’ve long been my first research call on any documentary project I’m involved in. Very few archives understand, let alone communicate, the actual substance of the material they represent as well as RITY. They speak with both confidence and authority, which saves time and money in and of itself. With the addition of various television talk-show libraries over the past years, they’ve substantially deepened the storytelling dynamics I’m searching for."
Larry YelenDirector of Archival Research Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions"What turns you on, baby? The Electric Prunes? The Yardbirds? The Pretty Things? The Kinks? There's only one go-to cat. David Peck is the man. He's gone, he is the coolest of the cool. I mean he swings, baby. You dig?"
Little Steven"I am impressed with the depth of the Reelin' In The Years archive, the jazz footage in particular."
