Phil Maher is an independent filmmaker and photographer who's spent over a decade building one of the more eclectic stock libraries you'll find — drone footage from Baja California and the Colorado Rockies, marine wildlife, resort destinations, and a deep archive of restored vintage 8mm and 16mm home-movie footage from across the United States.
footage.cool sells these clips direct — no marketplace fees, no broker margins, no subscription. Pay once for the license you actually need, download the master, use it. Phil keeps the relationship; you keep the rights.
"Every frame tells a story. The goal is to make footage of places and moments most people will never see accessible to filmmakers, journalists, and creators — without all the middlemen."
