The DGA Director Development Initiative (DDI) 2018 Career Workshop Application is for members who wish to expand their careers in episodic television directing. The full day interactive seminar will serve as the culminating experience of the 2018 DDI program (you can review recent events here). The workshop will take place on Saturday, November 10, 2018. Space is extremely limited, and participants will be selected through an online application process.
About the Workshop & Application
The DDI Career Workshop is open to all Directors Guild of America members and is designed to provide an interactive setting in which members can be exposed to the latest technical skillsets in demand and best practices in preparation for a career in directing episodic television. Workshop candidates should have limited television directing experience, having directed no more than five (5) episodes of television series. Candidates with no episodic television directing experience are also eligible to apply.
The application is hosted on the DGA’s website where members must log in to apply. Candidates must provide a web link to a single piece of narrative work completed within the last three (3) years that follows a traditional narrative (beginning, middle, and end) and best exemplifies their skill as a Director. A complete list of requirements is available on the application page.
The application period is now closed.
