On Saturday, October 24, the DGA LGBTQ+ Committee held its annual event, Resilience and Resistance: A Celebration of Director Ira Sachs. Hosted by the LGBTQ+ Events Subcommittee, the event paid tribute to Sachs’ career of making trailblazing independent films focused on queer people, and featured a screening of his latest film, The Man I Love, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2026. It also featured an in-depth conversation with fellow Director Lisa Cholodenko. Preceding the screening, DGA Past-President, Secretary-Treasurer, and former LGBTQ+ Committee Co-Chair Paris Barclay remarked how important it was to see Sachs’ films as he was coming up in the 1990s, and the importance was further emphasized by LGBTQ+ Events Subcommittee’s co-chairs, Jessica Lowery, C. Fitz, and John Krokidas in their opening remarks. During the conversation, Sachs stressed how lucky he is to have made the films he made, and that he aims to continue his mission of making queer independent films against all odds.

As part of our Shot to Remember series, our October monthly magazine featured an interview with DGA National Board Member Nicole Kassell. Kassell discusses directing the 2019 DGA Award-winning pilot of the series Watchmen, “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice.”
The opening scene reenvisions a dark story from America’s past — the 1921 Tulsa Massacre where mobs of white supremacists attacked black residents in one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history. In this interview, Kassell reveals how she created the stunning sequence.

On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, DGA Associate Executive Director/Western Executive Director Rebecca Rhine and DGA members Joe MJ Moore, Shawn Pipkin-West and Kevin Koster joined U.S. Congresswoman Laura Friedman, Senator Adam Schiff, U.S. Representatives Maxine Waters, Judy Chu, Linda Sanchez, Pete Aguilar, Ted Lieu, David Min, George Whitesides, Derek Tran, and fellow entertainment unions at a rally in a new push for the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act.
The legislation creates a national film tax credit covering qualified labor expenses, putting crews, performers, and craftspeople back to work on productions that have been leaving the country for decades. It stacks with state incentives and is designed to compete with the roughly 65 countries that already offer incentives the United States does not match.
