SDGI is a Professional Membership organisation and serves as a dedicated advocate for directors, recognising their unique perspective. SDGI unfortunately does not accept students, individuals just starting (i.e. their first short credit), or individuals with a permanent professional position unrelated to directing. We look forward to welcoming all directors when the criteria apply.
Our Guild embraces the fundamental principle of openness. SDGI has a resolute stance against imposing paywalls. Extensive director resources are free and available to all on the SDGI website. Sign up for our newsletter to be included in our many year-round open events.
Our doors are open to all, regardless of who you are, where you come from, or what you believe. We recognise that diversity is our strength and are dedicated to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. We invite all individuals to join us, irrespective of their differences or financial means, and work together toward our common goals.
We encourage those who are not yet a professional director to explore the National Talent Academy and the Skills Department of Screen Ireland. https://www.screenireland.ie/skills https://www.nationaltalentacademies.ie
