American Society of Cinematographers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (370 words)
The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) is not a labor union or guild, but rather an educational, cultural and professional organization.
The ASC was chartered in California in January 1919, and claims to be the "oldest continuously operating motion picture society in the world".
Along with the magazine, the most well-known publication of the society is the American Cinematographer Manual, sometimes referred to as "the Bible" among camerapeople.
