Behind The Set is associated with Fairfax Public Access, once the video footage is collected the footage goes into post-production and is submitted to Fairfax Public Access. However, there are many other episodes before your show and sometimes if the footage is bad, we may not air the collected footage. However, sometimes we may come back to re film the footage. There have been other occasions where we may rearrange the episodes, to suite the needs of other producers or to collect more footage by pushing other episodes forward. There is no confirmed deadline on when the footage is going to air until it has been submitted to FPA.

As this has started to become a problem, with talents that have been on our show the answer is "No," however, you are welcome to purchase the show from https://fcac.org

Once the footage is submitted to Fairfax Public Access we will not go back to edit the show.

We try to catch "real people," so if their is an accident or a blooper and we catch the accident or blooper it is up to the producer/editor to use that footage.
