Want to find more ways to help your fellow members of the DGA? Then visit the new DGA Outreach Team (OT) web page.

The OT has become a vital force within the Guild, originating from a grassroots effort during the 2023 contract negotiations. Led by four co-chairs representing diverse classifications across the country and Directorial team, this group of hundreds of member volunteers helped play a crucial role in keeping thousands of fellow DGA members informed throughout the negotiation process. Their dedication and unity were instrumental in achieving a successfully ratified contract.

Building on this momentum, the OT continues to educate members about contract gains and share important Guild information every quarter through OT Leader meetings. They foster a sense of community, enhance communication, and provide advocacy tools, ensuring a strong foundation for future negotiations.

The new OT webpage features PDFs with valuable information including:

  • A Creative Rights Checklist
  • Episodic Director Creative Rights, Expanded Post-Production Rights and Non-Dramatic Subscription Streaming (SVOD) Terms
  • Extended Day Rules for ADs
  • Distant Hire Terms for ADs & UPMs
  • Non-Dramatic High Budget SVOD Terms for AD/SM/PAs
  • and more...
