MEDIA ADVISORY, June 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --


   WHAT:  A celebration of the quality, artistry and long history
          of the genre. To underscore the director's role in
          bringing these films to life, the DGA will be kicking
          off its "Movies For Television: Four Decades of
          Directorial Excellence" campaign with special guest
          speakers and a historical clip montage of more than 80
          significant movies for television and mini-series. To
          be followed by a gala party to reconnect friends and
          colleagues.

   WHEN:  Tuesday, June 20, 2006
          6:00 p.m. Setup
          7:00 p.m. Event

   WHERE: Directors Guild of America
          7920 Sunset Boulevard
          Los Angeles, CA 90046

   WHO:   Special guests including directors, actors, producers
          and studio executives of many of the most notable

          four decades. Scheduled to appear to date: Helen Mirren,
          Elizabeth I; Thora Birch, Homeless to Harvard: The Liz

   WHY:   Throughout the four decades since the first movie made
          exclusively for television aired, directors and their
          creative collaborators have been making films that tell
          compelling stories.  Too often, these films and their
          creators have not received the recognition they deserve
          for the quality of their work and its impact on millions
          of television viewers.
