The Directors Guild of America reached a “historic” tentative deal for wages, works hours, residuals and even artificial intelligence as the writers strike continues

The pact was reached to set the terms of a new three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the association representing studios. “We have concluded a truly historic deal,” said Jon Avnet, chair of the guild’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.

Assistant directors would also have their workday cut by one hour. The contract would also ban live ammunition on set. A New Mexico judge recently approved a settlement agreement in a February 2022 wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was fatally shot on the “Rust” movie set in 2021, according to documents obtained by CNN. A pilot program to require safety supervisors would also go into effect.
