ACE Series Special holds preparatory sessions online

On Friday the 23rd of October 2020, ACE Producers held the introductory session to the Series Special Workshop.

Previously planned to be held in Brussels over the coming week it was decided, between ACE and its partners, that the workshop should be postponed until March 2021 to ensure the safety of participants and guests.

In order to offer the selected 19 producers a chance to start working on their projects and developing their bibles, ACE will be holding online afternoon sessions over the course of the week from the 26th to the 29th of October. These sessions will include group sessions and will centre around a course on series story structure by Emmanuel Oberg.

The 19 selected producers are each attending the programme with a series project in the early stages of development. Participants are experienced producers from the audiovisual industry looking to diversify into series producing or to integrate a series division into their companies.

The Series Special, both online and physical, is supported by the VAF and CFAP.
