What does A.S.C. mean after someone's name on film credits?

Certain people on film credits have A.S.C. after their name... It must be some sort of qualification, right? It's normally just the one per film too.

What does A.S.C. mean after someone's name on film credits?
It means the person is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).





Joining the ASC is by invitation only. Basically, three ASC members wrote letters of recommendation for a person and then the person gets called into an interview with the ASC membership committee. If the committee approves someone, and then the board of governors does, the nominee’s name is posted to the general membership who, I think, has thirty days to object. If a member objects and states the reasons, then the case is re-reviewed.








"The ASC committee looks at the quality of the work of the person. They're looking for people who are interested in cinematography not just as a career but as a vocation – someone who is willing to teach cinematography, speak about it, write about it, be in forums, serve on committees and go to panel discussions… to be active in the community."

Reply:American Society of Cinematographers -- it's an "invitation only" club like the British BSC. To qualify you either have to live a very long time, or do something like shoot 4 features and have someone invite you to join
