about us | europeanproducerclub

Europe's most influential association of producers

Gathering since 1993 influential independent film and TV drama producers from all over Europe, we act as a network, a think tank and a lobby.

Who we are

To this end, we have become expert in the organization of events that bring together film professionals from around the world, whether for conferences, networking events within or outside Europe, and workshops.

In addition to the individual companies which are members of the EPC, the EPC coordinates an alliance of national Producer Associations across Europe through the EPAA (European Producer Associations Alliance) and thus boasts a network of over 3000 industry professionals. The EPC opened a representation office in China in 2013.

The association is now headed by Gudny Hummelvoll, assisted in the role of Vice-Presidents by Dariusz Jablonski, Alvaro Longoria and Paula Vaccaro.

The European Producers Club (EPC) is an association of 160 influential independent film and TV drama producers from all over Europe.

Founded in 1993 within the framework of the GATS negotiations, we act as a network, a think tank and as a lobby. Our mission is to keep our members up to date with the latest developments in the film industry in Europe and across the world; we encourage collaboration, joint financing and coproduction across countries; we also lobby on a political level to protect and further the interests of the European industry and European producers.

GUDNY HUMMELVOLL

President

After studying English Literature and communication, Gudny went on to pursue a Bachelor of Sciences in TV, Radio, and Film at the University of Austin, Texas. She then returned to Norway and dedicated her career to the audiovisual industry. After some years in several positions in diverse productions companies and a time as production manager for NRK, Gudny’s first credit as a producer is the highly awarded feature film “Buddy” directed by Morten Tyldum. She established Hummefilm in 2011 which immediately took off with "Málmhaus" (2013) directed by Ragnar Bragason and the historical drama "The German Doctor" (2013). In 2013, she partnered up with Yellow Bird and in 2015, Hummelfilm released the world sensation "Occupied" - quickly picked up and sold internationally by Netflix in their early days of PanEuropean content acquisition. Gudny also continues to produce indie films such as the recent "Phoenix" (2018) directed by Camilla Strøm Henriksen and coproduced the anticipated "Daniel" directed by Niels Arden Oplev, Anders W. Berthelsen (2020).

Gudny has been very active in her role as board member and then Vice-President of the European Producers Club. She was elected president of the EPC in 2020, and marks history by being the first woman to ever hold this position (finaly!)
