From June 17–20, an ACE Leadership Special took place in Vitznau. ACE Producers is a network of renowned producers from across Europe, regularly organizing exclusive training events for its members. This multi-day workshop brought selected producers to Lake Lucerne. In cooperation with FOCAL, the Swiss foundation for film and audiovisual training, we were proud to co-host this high-level event.

It was a great opportunity for us to present some special locations and insider tips from Central Switzerland.
