An introduction to 1-ON-1S

We believe deeply in the power of storytelling to change the world – and also that we can learn and grow together as a community at any stage of a project or career. That’s why, in the spirit of collaboration and mutual learning, our team reserves time each week for one-off, no-cost conversations with current and aspiring filmmakers and impact producers. 

If you’d like to book a 30-minute conversation with our team, please use the scheduling tool at right, and you’ll be matched with the appropriate staff member.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS

Thank you for your interest in a one-on-one consultation with the Exposure Labs team.  By signing up for a one-on-one, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. One-on-ones are not an opportunity to pitch a film idea to us. You understand that there is no promise or expectation of payment or any other consideration by Exposure Labs arising from our conversation, including without limitation for any concepts or information that you may express during a conversation.

2. Exposure Labs respects the privacy and rights of its staff members. One-on-Ones are not a place to source video (and/or audio) content for school, commercial or personal projects. Conversations may not be recorded via video, audio, or any other means, in whole or in part, without the express written permission of Exposure Labs. Any unauthorized recording, or use of any such authorized recordings, are a violation of these terms and conditions and of the rights of Exposure Labs’ personnel, and it is the policy of Exposure Labs to pursue any such violations to the full extent of the law.

3. Exposure Labs respects the confidentiality of our conversation and will not use or disclose to third parties outside of our conversation any information that you may provide during a conversation. However, it is important to understand that Exposure Labs is also a film production company and may have concepts or projects under consideration or in preproduction, production, or post-production which were generated or obtained independently, but may appear similar or related to concepts that you disclose. As a condition of Exposure Labs’ agreement to consult with you, you hereby release any claim that Exposure Labs, its employees, owners, or personnel misappropriated or infringed upon any ideas or concepts that you may disclose in your One-on-one.

4. While we do our best to provide useful information, we make no guarantees regarding the results of following any advice or suggestions that may be provided in a conversation. You hereby release Exposure Labs and any of its employees, owners, or other personnel who participate in your One-on-one from any liability whatsoever arising from such conversation, even if arising from the negligence of such persons. No fiduciary relationship is created by any One-on-one.

5. These terms and conditions, and all matters relating to our conversation, are governed by Colorado law. Any legal action arising from our conversation may only be brought in binding, confidential arbitration in Boulder, Colorado before a single professional arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties and subject to the prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party waives any and all right to litigate any such dispute in court. Either party may commence arbitration proceedings by giving the other party written notice thereof by registered mail and proceeding thereafter in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and a judgment upon the award may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses of such action (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) from the non-prevailing party.

6. Questions or inquiries may be mailed to us at P.O. Box 18930, Boulder, CO 80308 or by email to info@exposurelabs.com.
