Pro Hub mentors 2021
As part of the Pro Hub’s activities, filmmakers are invited to take 30-minute one-to-one meetings with a mentor. These Industry insiders can provide important advice, guidance, coaching and inspiration to the filmmakers.
They will assist them in making the most of their stay in Rotterdam, developing strategies to advance their film in selection, give advice on their next projects and connect them to key Industry players. Mentors can also assist with specific questions concerning development, financing, sales, marketing, and festival strategies.
Producers and sales agents with a film in the festival can also book a meeting with a mentor.

Producers will be able to request a meeting with ACE Producers
exclusively on Tuesday, February 2
ACE Producers is an exclusive network of experienced independent film producers from Europe and beyond. Membership of the network is based on professionalism, mutual trust, collaborative working and openness to new ideas. A fundamental aim of ACE Producers is to encourage and enable international co-production. Producers with proven experience in their own countries are welcomed into the network after completing the ACE programme of advanced training, which consists of three workshops during one year. The training asserts the position and unique responsibilities of the producer throughout the whole process of a project’s development, production, marketing and delivery to audiences.
The ACE team will be at IFFR Pro and are keen to meet international producers interested in applying to the next ACE Session. To find out more about the ACE Workshops, the ACE Network and the application process, please do so by contacting Pro Hub by mail.
