A truly wonderful success story of immigration and integration in which we all are enriched by the collective melding of cultural backgrounds.
Often seen following James Wong Howe's name the letters A.S.C, he was a member of the... The American Society of Cinematographers which was founded in Hollywood in 1919 with the dual purpose of advancing the art and science of cinematography and bringing cinematographers together to exchange ideas, discuss techniques and promote the motion picture as an art form.
Members can put the letters A.S.C. after their names, membership has become one of the highest honours that can be bestowed upon a professional cinematographer, a mark of prestige and distinction.
ASC membership is by invitation and is extended only to directors of photography and special effects experts with distinguished credits in the film industry.
Excellent post.
I would like to add that the A.S.C. Foundation publishes a monthly magazine, American Cinematographer.
Anyone interested in movies, technology and photography should check it out. I am not sure if they still publish an actual magazine or if they now publish all of their articles on their website.
