- Negotiations began four weeks ago.
- First talks under DGA President Christopher Nolan since his appointment in September.
This agreement follows a wave of similar contracts ratified by unions representing actors and writers, which also extended to four years.
The collective bargaining agreement now awaits approval from the Directors Guild of America's national board, with details kept under wraps until then. Typically, such tentative agreements receive strong backing from guild members.
Directors' previous contracts were set to expire on June 30, creating urgency in reaching this new agreement.
