The project is a one year project-based training and networking programme targeted at experienced or very experienced feature film producers. At the end of this year session, the participants become members of a constructed network with its specific meeting points and institutions and a once a year "refresh" training session. The activity is based on the sharing of experience and knowledge of the members of previous years with the experience and knowledge of the new participants. Owing to their level the new participants bring as much to the alumni as they get from them.The new participants are selected with a project of a feature film in development with a high potential for an international co-production. The majority are EU except for a small group of non EU producers. The projects selected at an early level of development are used as material for tuition. The producers are attributed a script consultant and a financial mentor to coach them. They meet key potential partners during the sessions in order to package the project.After the first year most of the projects are not year ready for shooting. Providing that they pay their annual subscription, the participants benefit from advice and consulting from the ACE team and consultants, as well as from the Network itself as the development of a fiction feature film can take 2 to 6 or more in some cases. Only members paying this annual subscription are admitted to the Annual reunion of the association, and to the training sessions held on this occasion.The activity is based on three residential workshops in three EU countries, an "Annual Meeting" gathering the whole network in one place, roundtables and seminars in several EU countries open to local participants to get their feedback and disseminate results, and a series of networking events held in the main market places of the year. These events are complemented by an active planned follow up of each participant by email and Skype.The consultants are active professionals: world sales agents, distributors, bankers, commissioners from funds and broadcasters, in permanent contact with the international audience and market.
