The DGA has two Independent Directors Committees—the IDC West in Los Angeles which was established in 1998, and the IDC East based in New York and created in 2002. Composed of directors actively working in independent film, these committees seek to:

• help the Guild develop policies, programs and activities that better serve the needs of DGA members who work in the independent and low budget film arenas,
• reach out to independent film directors who are not yet members of the Guild to raise their awareness of the benefits of DGA membership, and
  
• educate independent film producers about the DGA's low budget agreements and encourage them to make use of them.
