About the National Directors Division

The National Directors Division (NDD) of the DGC proudly serves the more than 1000 Director members across the country working in all genres. We deliver initiatives focused on the advancement and engagement of Canadian filmmakers. Our central Career Pipeline provides tools and opportunities for Director members to develop their careers, including elevated craft and industry training, curated B2B meetings with decision makers, mentorships, on-set observing, and domestic and international market delegations. We celebrate the work of our members by spotlighting their achievements, expertise, and the projects they bring to market as primary creators.
