Off we go for the 3rd edition of EAVE+ in Luxembourg
12 experienced producers from 8 different countries have been selected to gather for four days with 6 high-profile industry experts to discuss their company structures, management practices and new business models. (Full list of participants at the end of the press release.)
The third edition of EAVE+ takes place during September 17-21, 2014 at the hotel Le Place D’Armes in Luxembourg.
Among the guests this time are German producer and distributor Stefan Arndt who will run a company case study about his production and distribution outlets X-Filme and X-Verleih.
Anne Flamant (Head of the cinema department at the OBCNeuflize bank in France) will give an overview of new ways of film financing in the French film industry.
US indie producer Jay Van Hoy will share his experience with and provide insight into the world of the American independents and discuss methods of running creative businesses.
Management coach Michael Comyn (IE) will work with the producers on leadership, management skills and personal resilience.
Led by EAVE Head of Studies Jani Thiltges (Samsa Film, LU) together with EAVE+ consultant Michael Weber (The Match Factory, DE), the keynote sessions are completed by group work sessions and 1-2-1 meetings with the guest experts as well as other participants.
Some comments from the previous editions:
« I thought it was a great four days and served as a real think tank for experienced producers to gain perspective on our changing world. »
Mike S. Ryan, Greyshack Films, USA
« The EAVE+ workshop was extremely useful on many levels - practical information on a range of subjects from promoting films on VoD platforms to how to work on one's resilience in stressful situations to raising private equity and managing those investor relationships. The networking element also really paid off in terms of finding a co-producer with access to a national fund in a country where one of my projects takes place, and that funding application is now underway. »
Natasha Dack, Tigerlily Films, UK
« It was hugely inspiring and interesting to look back and forward at our companies and the ever changing film environment in a greatly open atmosphere with an international group of colleague creative entrepreneurs. Priceless and inspiring to share thoughts and ideas, weakness and strengths about leading our companies and the ever changing film environment. »
Hanneke Niens, KeyFilm, The Netherlands
« It was the perfect moment for me and my partner to come to EAVE +, … (the) best moment to take a look… and see how it works for people with (the) same passion, but living and working in a completely different environment. »
Fernando Epstein, Mutante Cine, Uruguay
« The combination of people both participants and experts was magnificent and lead to a complete openness that I could not have imagined possible between a group of professionals at this stage of their careers. It was like an AA for producers, very painful but critical for our wellbeing. I am looking at everything since quite differently. »
Christine Alderson, Ipso Facto Films, UK
