Legacy
Though it appears that there are no plans to bring Exposure back on the Sci-Fi Channel lineup the channel did sponsor a short film showcase called "Exposure:Future of Film Festival" in New York City in August 2000. Though this has not been done again, the Sci-Fi channel still fosters a love of short film and has cashiered the works of interested filmmakers under the Exposure brand. In late October 2006 the Sci-Fi Channel in partnership with the Sundance Channel launched the Exposure Film Contest which ran for 8 weeks. The films were showcased on the SciFi Pulse broadband streaming applet of SciFi.com and viewers were permitted to vote on their favorites each week. The favorites of each week would then go on to the final choice selection with a results being posted on a primetime special that aired May 23, 2007. The winner was Paradox Road by Robert J. Thissen. Whether this contest will be repeated next year is unknown at this time.
The series did receive a following in the science fiction/media fandom community. Many complained about the late night Sunday schedule the show was aired and asked the network to air it much earlier in the evening. Apparently, SFC management failed to hear the viewers concerns.
