Proposed Credits Register

We've released draft guidelines on a credits register for producers of Australian screen content and called for industry comment.

The intention is that the register will provide a number of benefits:

Classifying eligible producers for inclusion in awards

Assisting in mediation of credit disputes

Offering accreditation mark for producers to include in their screen credits.

The draft guidelines for feature films, television drama and documentary highlight the initial phase of this work, having been adapted for the local production community from criteria used in a similar scheme operated by the Producers Guild of America.

As with the scheme implemented by our colleagues in the US, the aim of the credit register is to ensure that the person or persons who truly earn the producer credit on a production receive the appropriate recognition. The guidelines will assist us to establish the criteria for the work on a production receive that is commonly considered the work of the producer, said our CEO, Matthew Deaner.

We are inviting industry feedback to gauge interest in the scheme as well as to refine the criteria and expand the number of roles and genres defined (i.e. light entertainment, interactive, games, short film, etc). The draft guidelines are available here.

Feedback should be submitted to info@screenproducers.org.au by close of business 12 September 2015.
