Why Join

There are many reasons you should become a member of Directors UK. Here are just a few of them.
 

  • We collect and administer payments due to directors for secondary exploitation of their works. To benefit from these collections you must be registered with us. To check if we are holding money for you, please click here.
     
  • As a campaigning organisation, we are working and campaigning to establish and protect directors’ creative and economic rights in the UK and abroad. The more directors who join, the stronger our voice, presence and influence become.
     
  • Directors UK is the community for directors working in the UK. Our events programme for members includes networking evenings, mentoring schemes, workshops and camera master-classes, preview screenings with Q & As, panel sessions, short film competitions and many more opportunities to get involved. Our membership scheme also offers industry discounts, career training and legal advice.
     
  • The members’ area of our newly-launched website features video interviews, event podcasts, forums, technology reviews and a director’s profile, for members to interact, advertise working availability to potential employers, add credits, website links, etc.

These services will only be available to members paying an annual subscription.

If you are already registered with Directors UK under our old scheme, please note that you will still continue to receive any payments due to your works under our distribution schemes, whether or not you choose to subscribe to Full Membership.
