Thank you for inquiring into membership in the
Arizona Production Association
(APA)
APA is a non-profit trade association for film, theatre and television professionals. Our mission is to promote, encourage and advance the growth of the film, theatre and television industries within the State of Arizona and to improve the status and skills of our members.
APA has three membership levels: Basic, Web and
Directory.
Basic Members receive our printed newsletter,
discounts on various goods & services and free or discounted admission
to APA-sponsored events. Members also receive regular news updates and information
on upcoming industry events via APA's broadcast e-mail service. Basic Memberships
are $40 per year ($25 for Seniors age 65 and over and Students age 25 or under with ID and
proof of age) and renew in the month in which you join.
Web Members receive all of the above benefits, plus two
listings in our online Production Guide only. Web Memberships are $130 per year and
renew in the month in which you join. They are available year round. Web Members can upgrade to Directory Memberships by paying the
extra $20 when the book opens up for listings each year. Your membership would
then come up for renewal each May.
Directory Members receive all the above benefits, plus two listings in the
printed version of the Production Guide, published once each year (print listings contain identical info as the online listings). The printed Guide is distributed nationwide to producers,
coordinators, directors, location managers, ad agencies, etc. Directory Memberships are $150 per year, come up for renewal each May, and are only available from April through the published deadline in July each year. The deadline to apply to be included in the 2012 issue of the Arizona Production Guide was Friday, July 15, 2011. Directory Memberships are not available at the present time.
Web and Directory applicants must submit three call sheets or three references for each category in which they would like to be listed. In addition, these membership levels are open to Arizona residents only. Listing Criteria must be met for all listings.
Students (age 25 and under) and Seniors (age 65 and older) receive a $20 discount off of the Web and Directory membership levels. Proof of age is required for either discount; for students, copy of current student ID is also required.
In addition to membership, APA has volunteer opportunities available. You can get involved by helping out our Events, Internet, Membership, Legal/Political Action, Southern Arizona or Marketing Committees. Being on a committee is a great way to meet other industry professionals and keep in touch with the local production community.
