directed<\/a> an episode in its second season, though Wyle has previously directed on other shows. The DGA said that Wyle would not be affected, but declined to explain how the provision would work or who would be impacted.<\/p>\n\n\tThe provision is intended to support career directors, while still allowing those who are serious about building directing careers to continue to work.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe DGA has also been focused on making sure that its members are allowed to work on U.S. productions that go overseas. Under the deal, the studios and the union will task a committee with studying the application of the DGA contract outside North America.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe union has been focused on lobbying for a federal tax incentive to help bring productions back from overseas. Under the terms, the studios have agreed to have their top executives \u2014 and not just the Motion Picture Association \u2014 participate in that lobbying.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe deal also includes updated provisions on AI, including a stipulation that all footage generated by AI will remain under a director\u2019s control. The deal also includes provisions mandating notice of any AI training and transparency about the use of AI, which closely resemble terms won by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. The contract also includes a new employer-funded program to help directors build their AI skills.<\/p>\n
\n\tStudios agreed to pay higher contributions to the health plan, in keeping with the pace of health inflation, and to raise the cap on wages subject to contributions. The deal also includes a new credit for pilot directors.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe deal also requires the DGA to scale back benefits in certain respects, such as by imposing monthly premiums. The full changes to the health plan will be made later on by the trustees of the plan. Earlier this year, the WGA similarly agreed to significant increases in costs to members as the price of a substantial increase in employer contributions.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe four-year contract must still be ratified by the membership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
