The Australian Directors Guild was conceived of by a group of 18 directors that felt that their interests as directors weren’t being represented in Australia’s film and television industry.
From humble beginnings with board meetings at the local pub to official unionisation and over 900 members in 2015, you can read more about the history of the ADG at ScreenDirector.org
Within each state there is an ADG Chapter Head that members can liaise with and who organises events on the Guild's behalf for their local membership base. You can connect with your local chapter via social media groups or by sending an email to admin@adg.org.au
Chapter Heads are voluntary positions and ADG are very grateful for all our Chapter Heads for all the time and efforts that they have put in to support the Guilds.
