Crew booking software for film & production talent agents
Stop texting crew to check what's on Hold.
Exposure Link plugs into the Google or iCloud calendar account you already use. Confirmed bookings land on the calendars you've shared with crew — no app to install, no account for them to create, no new habit to learn.
Your crew never sign up
No account, no password, no app to install. They use whichever calendar app they already have — Exposure Link talks to it on your side.
Confirmed bookings land on the calendar
When you Confirm a booking, Exposure writes the event onto the calendar you've shared with that crew member. Holds — ranked P1, P2, P3 — stay inside Exposure until you confirm one.
Priority Holds, firm Confirms
Stack Holds by priority so you always know which jobs are Confirmed, which are tentative, and who's actually free this week.
How it works
Set it up once. Share a calendar. That's the whole workflow.
- 01
Use the calendar account you already have
You stay the calendar primary on your own Google or iCloud account. Make a calendar per crew member there, share each one out to that crew member's email — or import a calendar a colleague has shared into your Google account.
- 02
Connect it to Exposure
Sign in once with Google, or paste an iCloud app-specific password. Exposure imports every calendar in your account (owned and shared-to-you) and tags each one to the crew member it belongs to.
- 03
Book in Exposure, crew see it on their phone
When you confirm a booking, Exposure pushes the event through Google Calendar's API or iCloud's CalDAV protocol straight onto the shared calendar. The crew member sees it in the calendar app they already check — within seconds, no refresh button required.

FAQ
Holds, Confirms, and how crew calendars actually work.
- What's the difference between a Confirmed booking and a Hold?
- A Confirmed booking is a locked job — Exposure writes it onto the calendar you've shared with that crew member so it shows up in their phone calendar app. A Hold is a tentative booking that stays inside Exposure until you Confirm it; it never touches the crew member's calendar.
- How do priority Holds (P1, P2, P3) work?
- Holds stack by priority on the same date and resource — P1 is the strongest Hold, P2 is second in line, P3 third, and so on. Confirming the P1 Hold turns it into a Confirmed booking and writes the event to the crew member's shared calendar. Lower-ranked Holds stay in place after a Confirm — they only fall away if you release them, the crew is blocked out, or they hit their auto-release deadline.
- What does it mean to challenge a Hold?
- When a client asks for a slot you've already given to someone else as the P1 Hold, you can challenge that P1 Hold on their behalf. The booking flips to a challenged state and a countdown starts; if the original client doesn't lock it in within the challenge window, the new request takes over. Confirmed bookings can't be challenged — by the time you Confirm, the slot is locked.
- Do crew need to install an app or create an account?
- No. Only the agent signs in to Exposure. Crew see Confirmed bookings in whichever calendar app they already use — Apple Calendar or Google Calendar — because Exposure writes the events onto a calendar you've shared with them at the OS level.
- Which calendar systems does Exposure Link sync with?
- Google Calendar (via Google's official API) and iCloud (via the CalDAV protocol). You stay the calendar primary on your own account; Exposure connects with read/write access to the calendars you choose.
- Is Exposure Link suitable for film and TV production agencies?
- Yes — it's built for talent agents who book film and TV crew (DOPs, focus pullers, sound recordists, gaffers, grips, hair and make-up, art department, and so on). It handles priority Holds, client challenges, multi-day jobs, and per-job billing rates.
