The Directors Guild Of America (DGA) has reached a tentative four-year deal with studio and streamer negotiator Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
The deal means all three of Hollywood’s major guilds have now agreed to fresh four-year deals. This is in pointed contrast to back in 2023 when parties could not agree terms and WGA and SAG-AFTRA authorised bruising strikes that brought mush of Hollywood to its knees.
The guild, led by Christopher Nolan, will take the agreement to the national board for approval, after which point terms will be presented to membership for ratification.
DGA national executive director Russell Hollander, chair Jon Avnet, and vice-chair Karen Gaviola led the 70-member negotiating committee. Talks began on May 11 ahead of the June 30 expiry of the guild’s current agreement.
It is understood that employment terms, the health plan, and AI guardrails were among the top items under negotiation.
SAG-AFTRA’s members ratified that guild’s fresh deal last week, and WGA membership did so in tardy April.
Nolan’s The Odyssey opens through Universal on July 17.
