Roundtable: How it started – How it’s going
HOST: KAREN MITREGA, APD Curator
As Animation Production Days 2021 begins, over a year after the first lockdown, we want to know how European animation producers have been faring and would like to gage the current mood in the industry. What have been the positive and negative experiences? How is remote working functioning in the various phases of development and production? How is communication with colleagues, co-production and financing partners? What will remain of this year and what will change?
We have invited five producers who are presenting a project at this year’s APD to take a look back and into the future with us.
Panelists:
Maria Bonaria Fois
CEO
Mondo TV Iberoamérica
Tünde Vollenbroek
Co-Founder & Producer
Studio Pupil, Netherlands
Stefan Michel
Co-Founder & Producer
Studio Seufz, Germany
Irene Sparre
CEO & Head of Development
Sparre Production, Denmark
Iain Gardener
