The Director's Guild


The Director's Guild of America is a labor union that embodies the interests of film and television directors. To become part of this guild there are a few things you must follow.

1. Get some experience with shooting film either on film or digital video. If you can't afford film school, or any other kind of training, get your name out there. Tell people that you're a director and you want to show a film that you have done. You would be surprised how well that works.

2. Keep a journal. Write down all your projects, your visions for them, and the ending result. This will help you learn from your mistakes, and essentially build from them.

3. Use the journal to make a resume. It's always good to work for a company that is involved with DGA. So that you can be recommended to be part of the guild.

4. Work hard in your field. This will also up your chances in becoming a member.
