About Us
Mission: 

OUR MISSION: STORIES FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
We believe that stories are the most powerful catalyst to build empathy, shape culture, foster social justice movements, and shift systems. From inception to impact, we develop and share stories to address big societal challenges, and to inspire hope and action for collective solutions.

OUR VISION
We envision a world where transformative stories can help heal our relationship with the planet and with each other, and create an equitable and sustainable future for all.

OUR APPROACH
Exposure Labs is a film and impact production company based in Boulder, Colorado, ancestral home of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho people, with team members nationwide. Through a unique model where content production and social advocacy are tightly entwined, we share and support stories that uncover systems in need of change, visualize what’s at stake, and incite empathy, action and accountability. We function as a disrupter, dot-connector and bridge-builder, exposing extractive and divisive power structures while also shining light on the pathways and people leading us forward.

Programs: 

USING STORYTELLING TO SUPPORT MOVEMENTS

Since 2009, together with our partners we’ve mainstreamed major societal issues and contributed to systems-level changes.

CLIMATE

With our climate work, we’ve led grassroots campaigns demanding clean energy legislation and challenging skeptical politicians, mobilized voters, created a resource library for advocacy groups to use film as an organizing tool, and repeatedly convened storytellers to plan how their projects can advance the movement. From Chasing Ice and Chasing Coral to Uniontown and Water Warriors, we've shared stories that take people on adventures and help them believe in truth and in each other again.

TECH REFORM

With The Social Dilemma, we unveiled Big Social’s exploitative business model, which has hindered humanity’s ability to address climate change and many other existential threats. Our subsequent impact campaign has resourced the next generation to create and demand better technology, briefed policymakers around major tech current events and congressional hearings, and spotlighted movement coalitions, petitions and events to fast track a global conversation on humane tech reform.
