Los Angeles – Directors Guild of America (DGA) President Christopher Nolan today announced that the DGA has extended National Executive Director Russell Hollander’s contract through the end of 2029.
“For nearly a decade as our National Executive Director, Russ has been a steward for the Guild and its members, seeing us through a period of tremendous upheaval in our industry.” said Nolan. “From the pandemic to the strikes and the global contraction in production, Russ has always prioritized and protected the interests of our members, working closely with me, past Guild Presidents, and our National Board. We are grateful for his continued service to our community.”
Hollander has served as the DGA’s National Executive Director since 2017 and oversees the Guild’s work protecting and extending the economic and creative rights of its more than 19,500 members. He also acts as the Guild’s chief negotiator, is responsible for setting the Guild’s priorities, policies, and strategic agenda, and works with the elected President and Board of Directors. Hollander served as the Guild’s chief negotiator in the 2020 and 2023 negotiations with the major studios and led the industry’s return to work negotiations with the studios following COVID-19 work stoppages. He is Chair and a Trustee for the DGA-Producer Pension and Health Plans.
“I’m honored by the Board’s continued confidence in my service to the membership, especially during times of incredible change.” said Hollander. “The beauty of our Guild is our defining, singular mission to advance the creative and economic rights of our members – and the secret to our longstanding success is the strong partnership between our elected leaders and our professional staff to fulfill that purpose. At a time when the rights of workers need strong champions, it is a privilege to dedicate myself to that purpose and to the members we serve.”

"Be entrepreneurial."
That's not great advice. Franklin Leonard argues that if Hollywood took a lesson from the NBA (yes, the National Basketball Association), then aspiring directors and writers would have much better guidance.
The NBA had the discovery infrastructure to find Giannis Antetokounmpo, he said, but studios haven't invested in comparable frameworks to find talent.
Leonard, founder of The Blacklist, was part of "Changing the Game," a panel at the DGA Theater sponsored by IW Group in partnership with the Directors Guild of America.

With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you.
