Unlike the DGA TV awards, the directors put more days included in their agreement. Extra days also cost a few thousand dollars more. Wages and residual bases: general increases in wages and residual incomes of 2.5% in the first year of the agreement and 3% in the second and third years of the agreement. The elimination of the “grandfather” by the series that began producing under a previous contract was also determined during the following seasons by the terms of that previous contract. Under the new agreement, large-euroity will be abolished, allowing more members working on SVOD series to benefit from the renegotiated terms. The DGA agreements include the Basic Agreement (BA), which includes projects taken from recordings filmed under an agreement with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), and apply to directors, assistant directors and production managers working in film and television. The Freelance Live and Tape Television Agreement (FLTTA) is intended for video and live recording projects and applies to directors, associate directors, internship and associate production directors working in this field. This section also contains contracts and/or information on commercials, documentaries, experimental projects, industrial films, internet/mobile projects, low-budget films, reality TV and DGA contracts with different television networks.

Once you drop a dollar before $11 million, your project becomes a “low-budget” DGA production (I know).
