Entire Slate of Officers Is Re-Elected by Group's Board of Governors
The American Society of Cinematographers is keeping its leadership in place, with its entire slate of officers gaining re-election. Richard Crudo will serve his sixth term as president—he served for three consecutive terms beginning in 2003, and was re-elected to the position in 2013.
Also re-elected were Owen Roizman, Kees Van Oostrum and Lowell Peterson as vice presidents, Matthew Leonetti as treasurer, Fred Goodich as secretary, and Isidore Mankofsky as sergeant-at-arms.
The officers were chosen by ASC's Board of Governers, which was elected last month by the group's active membership. The Board includes Peterson along with John Bailey, Bill Bennett, George Spiro Dibie, Richard Edlund, Fred Elms, Daryn Okada, Robert Primes, Rodney Taylor and Haskell Wexler.
Crudo, a frequent chair and co-chair of the ASC Awards, also serves on the executive committee of the cinematographers branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as well as on the Sci-Tech Committee.
"As we start to close in on our 100th anniversary, we wil continue to honor the intents of our founders by protecting and promoting the interests of the cinematographer," said Crudo in a prepared statement. The ASC was founded in 1919.
