The Producers Guild of America Moves to Certify Films' Producing Credits

The Hollywood Reporter: "The Producers Guild of America is determined to leave its mark on the movies its members produce. As the organization, which represents more than 4,500 producers nationwide, readies for its 22nd annual Producers Guild Awards — set for Saturday at the Beverly Hilton — its leadership has been meeting behind the scenes with studios to promote a new credit designation that would spotlight producers’ contributions.

This sounds like it is creating more work for everyone. The producers have to prove they did certain tasks. The PGA admits they will need more staff to review more movies each year. Who knows what the studios will have to do. It seems like a stupid power play. I am sure in the industry the studios and PGA know who actually does the work and who just gives money and who just gets to slap their name up there. Now movie credits, which almost never get read are going to be longer and have to move even faster when they start to be shown on television.
