Producers Link

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.

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.

I am happy that I invested time in Producers LINK 2025. The expert lectures gave us updated information and knowledge. In particular, the audience awareness and pitching workshops were among the best that I have attended. Additionally, I was able to exchange insights with many new colleagues. The Producers LINK team led a full-packed program, and took good care of the group.

Producers Link was a really valuable experience for me. I had the chance to meet people from different parts of the film industry — both from my own world of animation, as well as from fiction and documentary — and to see how much connects us when we think about producing content for children.
Producers Link gave me a fresh perspective on how important it is to create for young audiences: why I do it and why I want to keep doing it. The pitching workshops gave me a lot — they opened my mind and helped unlock things that would have been difficult to reach on my own. I gained many tools for my future work.
And above all, it was great to meet so many interesting people and take part in events such as Young Horizons and Cinekid. So much knowledge, inspiration, great lectures and panels — it was a truly valuable and motivating time.

Producers LINK was an incredibly valuable experience because it connected me with producers from across Europe in a very open and collaborative environment. The programme offered practical insight into international co-production and helped expand both my professional network and perspective on developing projects.
