The DGA Contract Administration (DGACA) maintains
lists of individuals who have met the minimum
requirements for work as Unit Production Managers,
First Assistant Directors, and Second Assistant
Directors in the Motion Picture Industry. The
requirements for placement on the Qualification
Lists are negotiated by the Directors Guild
of America (DGA) and the Alliance of Motion
Picture and TV Producers (AMPTP). DGACA policies
are established by a Board of Trustees appointed
by the AMPTP. Companies signatory to the DGA
Basic Agreement give preference of employment
to individuals on the Qualification Lists.
The DGACA is not affiliated with the Directors
Guild of America. Information regarding the
DGA is available on its website at www.dga.org.
The DGA National Headquarters is located in
Los Angeles, California, and may be reached
by telephone to (310) 289-2000.
