2 I D G A M O N T H L Y The CDDP was born out of the 2014 National Commercial Agreement negotiations between the DGA and Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) with the goal of opening more opportunities for qualified women and people of color to direct commercials. The program has already resulted in success stories. Over the course of six months, the new Fellows will get exposure and experience through one-to-one interactions with mentoring DGA-signatory production companies and engage in workshops on the process of pitching/ shooting/finishing spots and branded content films. They will also shadow DGA commercial directors on the set and create their own spec commercial underwritten by a grant provided by the CDDP. The program concludes with an industry showcase where AICP companies, who are signatories of the National Commercial Agreement, are invited to view the finished commercials and meet this new pool of commercial directors. In addition to the five Fellows, 15 finalists will be invited to participate in the program's workshops: Leo Aguirre, Francis Agyapong, Kevin Berlandi, Megan Brotherton, Tracy Twinkie Byrd, Xavier Burgin, Justin Casselle, Ashley Czerniewski, Ashley Eakin, Alexander Gilbert, Guillaum Knight, Rachel Rinehardt, Sherwin Shilati, Larin Sullivan, and Sarah Wilson Thacker. Production Lists Return to www.dga.org The DGA Production Lists are now back online in the Employer's section of the DGA website. These lists are provided as a resource for networking of current and future projects but are not a job referral or employment service as there is no promise of openings on the productions listed. The publication of these lists was temporarily suspended following the shutdown of most production activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic and because the accuracy of the data could not be fully verified. The BA and Network lists are currently online and the FLTTA lists will soon follow. Published as PDFs formatted for printing, these lists contain productions covered by the DGA Basic Agreement, FLTTA and Network contracts. The information is separated by state within each list and include a clickable state index for easy navigation. All projects and crew members newly-added each week are denoted with an asterisk. • For questions concerning projects shooting in the Eastern area of the United States, please contact Ian Stewart at 212-258-0805 or email istewart@dga.org. • For questions concerning projects shooting elsewhere in the United States and abroad, please contact Jeffrey Heimer at 310-289-5375 or e-mail jdheimer@dga.org.
