ACE Producers is pleased to announce the call for applications for the fourth ACE Animation Special. The
workshop, which will be held in Dingle (Ireland) between 21 and 26 March 2023, is organised in thanks
to Creative Europe Media, NL Film Fund, in close collaboration with Screen Ireland and Animation
Ireland.
The workshop is aimed at experienced producers who want to diversify their activities to include, and/or
deepen their knowledge of developing and producing long form/feature film animation production for
an international audience (cinema, broadcast or streaming).
16 to 18 producers will be selected for the workshop, preferably with a long form/feature length
animation project at concept stage. Focusing primarily on the creative and financial aspects of feature
and longform animation production, the ACE Animation Special will offer sessions on animatic story
development, international production workflows, the creative dynamics of animation production,
financing strategies and international distribution. The workshop will also include one or more sessions
on physical line production as well as case studies on completed animation projects. Group sessions,
plenary sessions and one to one meetings will together build a workshop where producers learn from
each other’s experiences and those of key industry guests.
