Our Values

/

Revolutionary Exchange Productions is a diverse group of progressive individuals who collaborate to make creative and innovative projects that span multiple media. Through feminist, supportive and inclusive practices and policies, RevEx provides an open and empowering environment where groundbreaking and fun content can be created. Above all, RevEx events are respectful, safe places where we invite new friends into our community. These are our values:

1. We give artists 100% creative control. We like what you do already, that's why we're working with you.

2. We are about music, film, art, and games. Our focus is to develop creators and support them in making interesting things that break down barriers (musically, artistically, and otherwise). Creativity can change the world, and we seek to empower you to do that.

3. Revolutionary Exchange Productions isn't about money. Not for us. We plan to foster an environment where our creators have total freedom of expression, and our ultimate goal is ensuring that our creators will not have to worry about having a day job. We will do what we can to make that happen.

4. We will be offering creators a full range of services to help further your career, from help with writing, filming, composing, recording, finding gigs, touring and participating in festivals and shows, marketing, promotion, and other services that allow the creator to focus on making and creating and performing. We do the dirty work.

5. Revolutionary Exchange Productions doesn't work with creators who promote hate. We actively recruit creators from a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences. In particular, we look for creators who are women, people of color, LGBT, international, who have disabilities, or are marginalized by our country’s culture.

6. Our creators don't have to be political, but racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other beliefs that are rooted in fear and hatred will have no place with us. We foster unity, not division.

7. We encourage, but don't require, our creators to go beyond music and think about ways to supplement their works with live shows, visual art, dancers, music, video, and anything else that expands upon what the creator is trying say. We don’t care how crazy your idea is. Our first question is "How can we make this crazy idea a crazy awesome reality?"

8. Our goal is to make our creators’ success as inexpensive for them as possible, using the full range of modern technology and techniques to keep costs down. The sooner we can help you make a living as a creator, the happier we are.

9. We are not interested solely in the business of creating music or art. We are fans. We love music, film, art, and games and seek to share that passion with everyone we interact with. We are your No. 1 fans, other than your parents and your significant other (if you have one). Then we will be your No. 2, 3 or 5 fans, and we’re ok with that.

10. We're also new at this. We ask your patience in giving us some leeway in figuring out how best to navigate a rapidly changing entertainment industry. We have your best interests at heart (don't worry, we'll put that in writing), and will always be working toward your future success.

11. Call us RevEx for short.
