A note about video submissions and timelines:

To minimize delays, we encourage you to submit storyboards, scripts, and early video drafts for input as you develop your video. Because incorporating video edits can be a time-intensive process, EXA requires two weeks of review time prior to your desired publication date.

In this event we will reroute you through our standard CommsRequest@path.org process, which will require a charge code and prioritization against existing work streams. Please consider this when sharing for early review so we can meet your deadline!

Once feedback has been incorporated, the communication should be resubmitted to this form for final review. For ease of process and tracking, please do not re-share on an existing thread with reviewers.
