Barry Markowitz Inducted into the ASC

The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) traces its roots to 1913 when a handful of cinematographers organized camera clubs in New York and Los Angeles, which met informally for the purpose of sharing ideas about technical and creative issues. Sixteen members of the two camera clubs organized the ASC in December of 1918. The organization was chartered in California on January 9, 1919. From the beginning, ASC membership has been by invitation based on the individual's body of narrative film work.

Barry Markowitz now joins some 275 cinematographers with national roots in approximately 20 countries who are members of the ASC today.
