WHAT WE DO IN 60 SEC


Supporting Screen Directors. Worldwide.

For over 30 years, the Australian Screen Directors Authorship Collecting Society (ASDACS) has stood behind screen directors across Australia and New Zealand - protecting their rights, and making sure they get paid for the use of their work.

As a not-for-profit copyright collecting society, we collect and distribute royalties from local and international screenings, so our members receive what they’re rightfully owed.

Fair. Transparent. Global.
Your voice, your rights, your royalties.
