LOS ANGELES – The Directors Guild of America announced today that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on a new four-year collective bargaining agreement.
The tentative agreement will be presented to the DGA National Board for approval. Following the Board's review, details of the agreement will be released to the Guild's membership for consideration and ratification. Consistent with the Guild’s longstanding practice, terms of the agreement will not be released publicly until the National Board has completed its review.
The Guild’s 70-member Negotiating Committee – under the leadership of National Executive Director Russell Hollander, Chair Jon Avnet, and Vice-Chair Karen Gaviola – began contract negotiations on May 11, 2026.
Additional information regarding the agreement and the ratification process will be provided to DGA members following the National Board’s review.
