ADs keep our sets safe & production flowing. Their “regular” work day has always been 14 HOURS. This contract finally clawed that back one hour. Sounds small. But its historic & huge. #respect #safety #DGA

A.I. is here & growing. Our agreement prohibits the assigning of DGA duties to A.I. & establishes $ when our content is used. This fast moving target demands vigilance. And this agreement is a solid beginning for all guilds to build upon. #jobsecurity #DGA #unionmade

“NON-DRAMATIC” covers all unscripted: soaps, reality, quiz&game, competition, comedy specials, awards shows, live musicals, and more. On streaming these shows were a wild west without terms or conditions. This is a HUGE win. Long overdue. #DGA #voteYES #unionmade

The tech names creating AI are NOT signatory to AMPTP & have no legal mandate to honor our union contracts. The trick is a balancing act: allow AMPTP to compete with union guardrails so BAD ACTORS don’t sidestep all union controls. In that scenario, we all lose.

The SUMMARY is not the full contractual agreement. That’s 100 pages long. Sorry if someone condensed that area too deeply. But its real.

In my 37 years only ONE producer has ever watched my Directors Cut with me & offered notes for me to execute for them. And that was #MysocalledLife in 1994. Now ADDED DAYS allow our collaboration on a shared vision to continue into POST. This is HUGE. And its gonna be good.

$50k max will not kill indie features. Extreme low budget likely not even DGA signatory anyway. The vast majority of directors NEVER see their movies made after years of free work. We share this with WGA -everyone wants free work to get a greenlight. We all do It. its not right.

This one says it all. Domestic & Foreign combined. Residuals fuel a big part of our pension & health plans. This truly is protecting our future. #DGA #unionmade

Want to close the loop here. I checked and I misstated the final terms. Nothing is credited against scale compensation. Above that soft prep can be credited. Rene, you ask great questions. Looking forward to you joining the DGA and getting involved.

Rep. Zephyr spoke passionately about the dangers of preventing transgender people from seeking life-saving, gender-affirming care and now Montana Republicans want to silence her. Sign the petition to #LetHerSpeak sign.moveon.org/petitions/say-…

Twitter, you have become a crowded room of voices who feel unheard so they all speak loudly. Problem is when everyone is speaking loudly… no one is listening. #dga

Bravo! The ultimate cold case solved.
