guild collecting society...
The BFDG no longer operates as a collecting society, after a reorganising of its core business model. We are proud to have championed the establishment of the principles behind "Copyright" and the definition of "Authors" within the Film and Television Industries, and to have paved the way for residuals to be paid to Key UK based technicians. Please contact us for more information on directly joining other existing societies.
