How to Find Video File in Another Module - Android Studio

My project includes two modules, one main module with all the XML, Kotlin files, and images, and another with all the video files. I had to do this because my app has like 20 videos and it exceeds that 150 MB cap that is put on the app bundles. Anyway, I have am trying to play a video through a video view, and it worked before by just finding the filepath. Now, I'm not sure how to access the video in another module, and when I try to get the filepath it can't find it. I've already set up the dependencies, so I don't know what the issue is.

Here is an example of what I had before I moved the videos into the new module, and this worked:

val intent = Intent(requireActivity(), WatchActivity::class.java)
intent.putExtra("filePath", "android.resource://${requireActivity().packageName}/${R.raw.addeventvideo}")
requireActivity().startActivity(intent)

If you're wondering, that code is inside of an onClickListener for a button so that it opens a new activity with a videoview that plays the video with the filepath I pass into the intent. Thanks for any help with this.
