Trainees are a screened and trained addition to your production team and can perform DGA duties. All trainees have had classroom-based curriculum that includes: Production forms, call sheets, first aid, SAG, IATSE & Basic Crafts contracts, Safety on set, and staging background action. We also offer several incentive programs to you that may help alleviate some of the costs of hiring a trainee (or multiple!) on your production. Our programs include:
Our beloved friend and former DGPTP Trustee Duncan Henderson has passed at the age of 72. During his long and successful career as a Unit Production Manager and Assistant Director, he worked on a myriad of notable projects. Including, but not limited to, "Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone," "Dead Poet's Society," "Oblivion," "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," and "Space Jam: A New Legacy." Duncan graduated from the DGPTP in 1980 and served as a Trustee on the board between 2004-2022. In 2020, he was awarded the DGA’s Frank Capra Achievement Award for exemplary service to the guild and achievement in the industry. He is survived by his wife Michelle and four children. We send his family and friends our condolences and will miss him dearly.
We're proud to announce we have selected our newest class of trainees. They just completed orientation week and are eager to start working!
