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?
Industry Love
Initiatives
Producers shoulder the responsibility for the tone and tenor of productions. As such, the Guild has established a number of tentpole initiatives for which it is a leader within the industry. Collectively, these initiatives help lead the industry and culture forward.

Producers Mark (p.g.a.)
A certification mark for feature-length productions
Identifies which producers performed a majority of the producing functions on a specific motion picture in a decision-making capacity
Producers who meet this standard may use the Mark (p.g.a.) next to their names in the onscreen credits and ads for a specific motion picture.
Safety
Producers set the culture and tenor on a set
