American Cinematographer

The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) is the oldest continuously operating motion picture society, founded in 1919 to promote cinematography as an art and technical craft. It emerged from the merger of the Cinema Camera Club and the Static Club of America, aiming to unify cinematographers and enhance their creative roles in filmmaking. Headquartered in Hollywood since 1937, the ASC has established itself as a global authority on visual storytelling. The ASC offers a range of services, including the Master Class program for education in composition, lighting, and visual storytelling. It advocates for cinematographers as key creative collaborators and publishes *American Cinematographer* magazine, which features insights into film and TV production. The organization also fosters community through events and networking opportunities. With over 400 members, including industry pioneers and modern innovators, the ASC supports cinematographers, film professionals, and aspiring filmmakers through its educational initiatives and technical standards.
