The Producers Guild of America (PGA) is pleased to announce that Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia Pictures and Screen Gems, Universal Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation have officially signed on to implement the Producers’ Mark certification: “p.g.a.” Establishing the “Produced by” credit certification is a significant industry achievement as it protects the integrity of one of the most challenging and enduring roles in feature film production. Once a producer’s work on a film is vetted and certified through the PGA’s arbitration process, their “Produced by” credit and name will be followed by the distinctive mark: “p.g.a.”
As of now, the Producers’ Mark certification program does not include television or new media productions.
“This is a remarkable moment in the entertainment industry, and a historic step forward in our twelve year-long campaign at the Producers Guild to protect producers and the ‘Produced by’ credit,” said PGA President Mark Gordon. “Simply put, the Producers’ Mark certification changes the process of how we credit producers on a film by appropriately acknowledging producers for the actual work they have done.”
