Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get health insurance if I join?

Unlike our sister guilds, we do not have a PGA administered health plan. However, there are health care options we connect eligible members to, including the Motion Picture Industry Health Fund Plan.

I recently received “p.g.a.” designation for my screen credit. Am I now a member?

No. PGA membership and the Producers Mark (p.g.a.) are two completely different designations with separate processes for approval. Membership in PGA is not a requirement to receive the Producers Mark, a certification mark which PGA licenses to the producer(s) of feature-length productions that are identified as performing a majority of the producing functions on a specific motion picture in a decision-making capacity.

I’ve applied for membership before but was denied. How can I be reconsidered?

Before you re-apply, be sure to check our membership requirements. Criteria can change over time, so check back regularly. Still have questions? Please email applications@producersguild.org

What Committees and Groups can PGA members join?
