Knowing Your Rights as a Documentary Director

This episode features an in-depth industry discussion between DGC Director Tiffany Hsiung (Sing Me A Lullaby, The Apology) and Nathalie-Anne Brassard, the Directors Guild of Canada's National Film Board and Documentary Director Labour Representative. Their conversation focuses on the latest agreement between the DGC and the National Film Board, which enshrines new economic and creative rights at the NFB, while delving into specifics regarding the financial repercussions of production delays, how Directors can make sure they're properly credited for their work, how the DGC can assist in resolving creative and legal disputes, and much more. 

This discussion was recorded live at a DGC Visionaries event in Toronto.
