Schlamme, Thomas — Directors Guild of America
President
Directors Guild of America
THE LATEST: Emmy-winning television producer Schlamme was named to a second two-year term as president of the Directors Guild of America last June. The board of the Directors Guild unanimously approved a new three-year agreement with the Producers Guild of America in early March. The contract included a nearly 50% increase in residuals for work on streaming platforms such as Netflix. On the guild's behalf, Schlamme in April signed an email from a coalition of Hollywood unions and guilds to their 500, 000 members, encouraging solidarity, a focus on safety concerns, and links to Covid-19 resources and emergency financial assistance.
BACKGROUND: Schlamme is best known for his creative collaborations with TV writer-producer Aaron Sorkin. Schlamme's work on "The West Wing" netted him three directing Emmys. In addition, Schlamme has won directing Emmys for the Sorkin-created series "Sports Night" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," as well as for "E.R." and "Tracey Takes On"
