Members of the Directors Guild of America have until Friday to vote on their new contract, and those contacted this week byIn interviews, members noted the contract includes significant gains in residuals, creative rights, safety provisions and working hours.
“I think it’s a great contract,” said director Jen McGowan. “There are lots of good gains, and I think voting no is not going to get us a better contract.” “It does allow a first A.D. to focus on the director’s vision and working with the crew,” said Shawn Pipkin-West, who works as as first A.D. Some members also have misgivings about the AI provision. The 78-page memorandum of agreement includes four paragraphs on generative AI. The agreement states that GAI is “not a person,” and that DGA member duties must be assigned to a person. But the deal does not forbid the use of AI in the creative process, and requires only “consultation” with DGA members on how it is used.
Goi argued it’s better for DGA members to be part of the AI conversation rather than trying to ban it outright.
