[2][3][4] This offshoot of the "Exposure" program was created by the Sci Fi Channel to serve as a springboard for promising amateur and semi-professional filmmakers.
Exposure Studios was focused primarily on funding, mentoring and promoting young directors, commissioning them to create mini television pilots.
Although this has not happened since, the Sci-Fi channel still fosters a love of short film and has cashiered the works of interested filmmakers under the Exposure brand.
