The Producers Guild of America (PGA) is a professional association representing television producers, film producers, and new media manufacturers in the United States . The membership of the PGA includes over 7,000 members of the manufacturing industry worldwide. Its co-presidents are Gail Berman & Lucy Fisher. The PGA is overseen by a national board. Vance Van Petten has been the organization's National Executive Director since 2000.

The Producers Guild of America offers its members a number of benefits, including health and pension insurance, seminars and mentoring programs, access to special screenings of films during the Oscar season, and assistance with working conditions and credits. In 2015, the PGA membership ratio was 57% male and 43% female.

history

The PGA emerged from the Screen Producers Guild founded in 1950 and the Television Producers Guild founded in 1957 , which merged in 1962. In 2001 the PGA merged with the American Association of Producers and has since represented all members of a production staff.

Since then the PGA has been divided into three councils:

  • the Producers Council (for producers , executive producers and co-producers)
  • the AP Council (production managers, production assistants, production coordinators, post-production employees)
  • the New Media Council for the producers of new media

In the same year, a regional section of the PGA for the east coast in New York City was established.

Producers Guild of America Awards

The first winners of the Golden Laurel Awards in 1990 were Richard D. Zanuck and Lili Zanuck for Miss Daisy and her chauffeur .
