The Directors Guild of America has extended the employment contract of Russell Hollander as national executive director through the end of 2029.

The extension comes about two weeks before the DGA is set to begin its collective bargaining process with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on May 11. Hollander is a more than 25-year veteran of the guild who has been at the helm since 2017.
