ReferendummessagetoMembersfromtheDirectorsUKBoardandCEO

Dear Members,

Today’s decision by the British people to leave the European Union is already triggering profound changes to the political, economic and constitutional framework of the UK. These changes will undoubtedly impact on you and your career as well as on Directors UK and on the UK’s creative industries and culture in general. That impact is, as yet, uncertain.

The Board and the staff team at Directors UK will do everything we can in these unstable times to support you and to protect your royalties and your rights.

We have contacted our associate organisations in Europe – the Society of Audio-visual Authors (SAA) and the Federation of European Film Directors (FERA) – to re-assure them of our continuing support for action together in Europe in support of directors’ rights. We are also committed to working with our colleagues in Europe as the repercussions of the UK decision and its impact on the EU and its institutions unfolds.

If you would like to talk to us about any issues relating to the outcome of the Referendum and its impact on your profession, please contact us at [email protected].

Regards,

Directors UK Board and CEO
