ACE Series Special producers 2023

European network ACE Producers has selected 18 independent producers for ACE Series Special, its workshop on the series production landscape.

Each producer attends the workshop with a series project in early stages of development. The 18 participants hail from 12 different countries, and will participate in the workshop from October 30 to November 4 this year in Riga, Latvia.

The selected producers include Swedish producer Madeleine Ekman of Nordisk Film, with The Making Of A Terrorist, written by Leif Edlund and Emelia Hansson. Ekman has credits as a co-producer on Lars von Trier films including Antichrist, Melancholia and Nyphomaniac: Vol 1, plus Nikolaj Arcel’s A Royal Affair and Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt.

Laurette Schllings, producer at the Netherlands’ Topkapi Films, takes part with The Tata Tragedy, from showrunners Anoek Nuyens and Rebekka de Wit, with the duo as writers with Nathan Vecht. Schillings was co-producer on Lukas Dhont’s Girl and Close, as well as Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta.

Two producers from Ireland are participating: Feline Films’ Jessie Fisk with When They All Vanish, and Cowtown Pictures’ John Wallace with Settlement.

Al Williams, ACE specials manager, says “the trend for feature film producers to move over to series shows no signs of slowing down”, and describes the programme as “a safe space to build confidence in the tools and skills they already have, in order to make that transition.”
