The Directors Guild of America is in the process of putting online at http://www.dga.org its directory (which has been published annually for years); its website also has links to individual directors' webpages. Generally, the printed version of the directory gives the director's agency as the contact, and occasionally (should he or she have one) a production company. In the past, my students and I have been successful in using these contacts to communicate personally with the director (Savage Steve Holland and Jim Jarmusch [there's a pair!] most recently, both through their production companies). The Screen Actors Guild website (www.sag.com) has a member directory, but it is accessible only by SAG members. AFTRA offers no directory, but will give you the actor's agent by emailing [log in to unmask] ___________________________________________________________________________ William Lafferty, PhD Associate Professor Department of Theatre Arts [log in to unmask] Wright State University office: (937) 775-4581 or 3072 Dayton, Ohio 45435-0001 USA facsimile: (937) 775-3787 I have been in the scholastic profession long enough to know that nobody enters it unless he has some very good reason which he is anxious to conceal. --- Augustus Fagin, Esq., PhD, in Evelyn Waugh's *Decline and Fall* Visit *Lake Michigan Maritime Marginalia* at http://www.wright.edu/~william.lafferty ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
