Participants about the Producers LINK programme

Producers LINK was an extremely valuable experience for me. Not only did I make great connections with other emerging producers, I learned many key skills around funding, pitching and co-producing. I would highly recommend anyone working in the children's media space to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.

Lauren Fee, JAM Media, Ireland

Producers LINK was great not only because of the learning sessions we had, such as the fantastic pitching training with Agata Darlasi or the two-hour case study on financing an animated feature, which felt as useful as five years of studying.
What made it really special, though, was our group of participant producers - coming from very different backgrounds and levels of experience, yet growing into a family across the two modules in Warsaw and Amsterdam, learning so much from each other!

I had the best time at Producers LINK. I went without a project, but even so, I gained a lot of insight and made many new friends. It’s a great programme both for getting a good glimpse into the current state of youth film and for finding people to work with.
