The Directors Guild of America said it has reached a “historic deal” with the major studios on a new three-year film and TV contract.In a statement, the DGA negotiating committee said that it reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers that includes wage increases, a new structure to pay foreign residuals — which had been a key priority for the union — and restrictions on the use of AI.“We have concluded a truly historic deal,” said Jon Avnet, chair of the DGA’s negotiations committee in a statement. “It provides significant improvements for every director, assistant director, unit production manager, associate director and stage manager in our guild. In these negotiations we made advances on wages, streaming residuals, safety, creative rights and diversity, as well as securing essential protections for our members on new key issues like artificial intelligence — ensuring DGA members will not be replaced by technological advances.”https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-06-04/directors-guild-contract-studios-writers-strike-hollywood-labor?utm_id=99981&sfmc_id=2423239 (ICE LOS ANGELES)
