Australian Screen  Editors Guild Accreditation is a bit like an honorary degree. Henry Dangar ASE, the first president of the guild, described it thus:

"It is not given lightly.

It is given by editing peers and therefore has a high value attached to it.

It is an acknowledgement of a very strong body of work over a period of time.

It is an acknowledgement of  an editor who has continued to pass on the craft of editing to those who want to learn.

It is an acknowledgement of an editor who has continued to work actively in promoting the values of good editing and editing practices."

For an editor to receive an ASE accreditation, it is a very high honour. 

To date, the guild has accredited fifty-five editors, to see a list of their names please click here. 

 

Applications are now open for Accreditation 2012

 

Members of the Australian Screen Editors Guild are invited to apply for Accreditation.

 

Accreditation is the highest honour the Guild can bestow on an Editor and is available to any Full Member whose body of work is considered to exhibit a consistently high standard of editing as judged by the Accreditation Sub Committee. Applicants will have at least five years industry experience as an Editor and they will have demonstrated their ability to advocate the role of Editors in the industry. Applicants must be current financial members of the Guild with a minimum of two years membership.

 

Full members who consider they fulfil these requirements should apply to the Accreditation Sub Committee through the national office of the Guild by submitting a complete list of their credits as an editor, including the year the work was completed and also indicating the titles they consider to be their best work. In addition, they must provide three full examples of their work, with two DVD copies of each example, an accompanying document providing background on the works, their reasons for submitting each and highlighting any scenes or sequences of particular note with a general DVD timing indication.  Applicants may be asked by the Accreditation Sub Committee to submit further material if required.  All DVDs shall be returned to applicants.

 

Applicants are also required to submit a short personal statement demonstrating their willingness and ability to advocate for the role of Editors in the industry and to advance the standards and recognition of the accreditation process.

 

Telephone contact details of two professional referees must be included with the application.

 

The application fee of $25 (inc. GST) is to be paid at the time of submission.  The deadline for applications is Friday 14th September 2012, and must be postmarked on or before this date.
