11 emerging producers have been selected for the upcoming ACE Training Days NL. Taking place on 14 and 15 October 2025 in Leiden and Amsterdam, the workshop will focus on “How to Build a Sustainable Economic Foundation for Your Business”.
The ACE Training Days NL is a tailor-made programme designed for emerging producers at relatively early stages in their careers, who are looking to expand their network and learn more about the international context of the audiovisual industry. The workshop welcomes producers working in fiction, animation and documentary, and strives to make the industry more inclusive and diverse.
The world is changing fast, and the world of film and television is no different. Just when you think you have everything under control, something changes. Ever-evolving technology, changing legislation, climate change, turbulent politics and so on. This has a huge impact on film production companies and the people who work for them, requiring a great deal of flexibility, adaptability and above all, the right strategy supported by accurate leadership.
In this workshop, we will focus on two main pillars of building a sustainable business in this VUCA* time:
- Developing and implementing an agile and, at the same time, sustainable strategy;
- Effective leadership in a VUCA world.
The ACE Training Days NL has been set up in collaboration with the Netherlands Film Fund, a key funder of ACE Producers.
