What's the meaning of abbreviations in credits? (ASC, PGA, ...)?
In several credits, some names (usually among the first ones) have an abbreviation after their name like: - A.C.E. - A.S.C. - ...Where does it come from?Do they mean something specific about their job?
Most of these abbreviations are to do with what guild someone is a member of. PGA = Producer's Guild of America. DGA = Directors Guild of America. ASC = American Society of Cinematographers. There are several others like these.
