The Spanish flu pandemic was in 1918 and the ASC was formed a year later, so we know how to emerge from a crisis ”
KEES VAN OOSTRUM As ASC president, Kees Van Oostrum initiated and continues to oversee the ASC’s Master Class programme. The master classes, which take place in LA and various locations worldwide throughout the year, are taught by ASC members.

Master class participants get practical, hands-on demonstrations of lighting and camera technique, all within current workflow practices. Van Oostrum has also significantly expanded the activities of the ASC over the past three years in the areas of diversity, social media and web presence, and in establishing the ASC ARRI Educational Center, which will open its doors this September in Hollywood. Van Oostrum has earned Emmy nominations for shooting the telefilms Miss Rose White and Return to Lonesome Dove , which also earned a 1994 ASC Outstanding Achievement Award. He also collected ASC Award nominations for The Burden of Proof , Medusa’s Child and Spartacus .
