O C T O B E R 2 0 2 6 I 1 3 • OCTOBER UPCOMING EVENTS • The DGA Director Development Initiative presents: Understanding the Director's Creative Rights Creative Rights are fundamental to the realization of the Director's artistic vision, and it is often one of the most important contractual provisions negotiated during every contract negotiation cycle. But many Directors do not have a clear understanding of their Creative Rights and how the DGA can support them in securing those rights on set. This Director Development Initiative lab will walk members through the basics of Creative Rights in television directing, dispel common misconceptions around how these rights exist on set, and highlight recent changes negotiated in our current contract. This session will feature Director Tessa Blake in conversation with DGA Associate Executive Director Daniel Tenkman. The DDI Labs focus on education and career development for members interested in episodic television and is designed to provide current information on the Director's craft delivered by experienced Episodic Television Directors. Thursday, October 22 5:00 p.m. (PT) 8:00 p.m. (ET) Online To RSVP, please log-in as a member at www.dga.org/Events and click on Upcoming Events. The DGA Eastern Region Special Projects Committee presents: 9/11 Untold Stories In recognition of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the contributions of the entertainment industry unions to post 9/11 recovery efforts, the Eastern Region Special Projects Committee invites you to join us for a special screening of Dana J. Kuznetzkoff & Julie Rowen's new documentary, 9/11 Untold Stories, followed by a panel discussion with the Directors and other notables. After the towers fell, New York City filled with smoke, sirens, and impossible choices. Civilian volunteers, many from the entertainment industry used their equipment, skills, and crews to help Ground Zero endure the unthinkable. 9/11 Untold Stories features interviews with several DGA members, as well as perspectives from other industry staples such as Theatrical Teamsters President Tommy O'Donnell, Local 52 members and testimonials from former FDNY Commissioners and Office of Emergency Management Supervisors who all state unequivocally that rescue and recovery efforts would have been severely hampered without the help of the entertainment industry.
