Who we are.
The professional association for UK screen directors.
Directors UK is the organisation representing the creative, economic and contractual rights of screen directors. We advocate for better working conditions, fair pay and stronger industry practices, ensuring directors can focus on doing what they do best: telling powerful stories.
Our work spans campaigning, career development, industry partnerships, legal support and distribution of royalties. Every year, we help thousands of directors navigate the business of directing, safeguard their rights and gain access to opportunities that elevate their craft.
We exist so the voice of the director is heard, valued and protected across the UK’s screen industries.
