Launch of Directors Guild FYC In mid-October, eligible DGA members received an email (Season Ticket) from Indee Technologies sharing how to access Directors Guild FYC, the Guild's new platform for Theatrical Feature Film screeners for the 2025 Awards season. Directors Guild FYC can be found as a native app and downloaded on a number of devices including Amazon Fire, AppleTV, and Roku. Each member has been assigned a PIN that will enable you to log in and access the app. This access code will remain valid for all active and eligible members throughout the entire awards season. Additionally, networks/distributors will have the new option of sending screeners and invitations for all other DGA Awards categories. Any emails coordinated through the Guild's Awards Offi ce will begin with DGA Awards FYC and will indicate if it contains either an invite to a screening or event, OR is an announcement of digital screener access. Who receives FYC invites/screeners? All DGA members in good standing, including retirees, will receive access to the Directors Guild FYC App, additional digital screeners, and invitations to screenings/Q&As. DGA members who are suspended or have not yet paid their Initiation Fee in full are not eligible to receive FYC materials or vote on DGA Awards. To verify which email is set to receive screeners and screening notices, check your Email Settings page (requires sign-in) on the DGA website. Please note: only one email address may be selected. Who do I contact if there's a problem with my screener or my access to the Directors Guild FYC app? For technical assistance with the Directors Guild FYC App, please email Indee at awards@indee.tv. If you have any questions regarding screeners, please call the Web Support line at 310-289-2082 or email awards@dga.org. J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 6 I 4 7
