Please join the LGBTQ+ Committee for a tribute to Director Greg Berlanti. This event will take place live in Los Angeles, with a live stream in the Guild's New York Boardroom.
Television changed when Greg Berlanti stepped behind the camera, and so did the lives of millions in the LGBTQ+ community. Over more than two decades, his career has become a testament to the power of visibility, marked by groundbreaking moments fromDawson’s Creek’s first same-sex kiss on network television toLove, Simon, Supergirl, Brilliant Minds, and beyond.
Berlanti has built more than hit shows and films —he has built space. Space for queer love stories, trans visibility, and authentic representation. For BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and emerging directors to thrive. Through his unwavering commitment to inclusive storytelling and assembling some of the most diverse creative teams in Hollywood, he has opened doors, shifted culture, and amplified the voices of generations of viewers, creators, and crew.
Few have changed the television and film landscape like Berlanti. A DGA member since 2009, his work was recognized by the Guild with a 2012 DGA Movies for Television and Mini-Series Award nomination for his pilot episode ofPolitical Animals. With courage, clarity, and craft, he has brought queer stories from the margins to the mainstream, redefining what’s possible in broadcast, streaming and in theaters. This special DGA evening celebrates his enduring vision and the resilience behind the stories that continue to inspire and transform.
