Executive Member Access Policy
1. Purpose
Executive Member Access provides the advance viewing, review opportunities, creative consultation, and additional production accommodations expressly identified in the applicable written agreement. Payment covers the defined membership benefits and licensing rights; it does not transfer ownership or editorial control. Costs and the agreed scope are discussed before commitment.
Executive Member Access is intended to support participants who desire greater involvement in certain aspects of their feature while preserving the editorial independence and creative integrity of Edinburg Spotlight productions.
