The EAVE Producers Workshop is aimed at producers (fiction, documentary, new media) already working in the industry and who wish to operate on a European wide basis by increasing their knowledge of producing and co-producing in Europe and by building up a pan European professional network. Applications from associated branches of the industry – e.g. commissioning, funding, legal and finance, festivals & markets, media administration – are also welcome. Each year 50 participants are selected to take part in 3 one-week long workshops. Half the participants attend the course with projects in development, on which they will work with colleagues and experts throughout the year. During the first 2 workshops, participants work within groups led by experienced producers and with several experts on script analysis, development and production financing, legal aspects of co-production, marketing, pitching, packaging and more. In the third workshop some 60 Decision Makers join the participants to discuss the projects, companies and careers of the participants. EAVE Plus is a new and innovative programme created in 2013 to satisfy the strong demand from the industry for a programme for peers working at a senior level. It is targeted at internationally experienced producers that will gather with high profile international keynote speakers. The EAVE Marketing Workshop enables participants to go into detail on the marketing of their project as well as providing in depth knowledge of the latest marketing techniques and ways of distributing films and developing an audience for each film. It is designed to assist participants on how to position their films and how to create an audience and suitable distribution. The workshop is project-based (for projects in all stages of development from script stage to post-production) so that participants develop together a concrete marketing and distribution strategy for each individual project.
