AMB Productions stands for my name Anne-Marijn Burgers.
AMB Productions has evolved into an expert in cultural fundraising, productivity enhancement, and time management, also offering planning classes. Although my expertise is rooted in production, I am now shifting my focus to these crucial aspects of cultural projects. My specialization encompasses translating creative ideas into tangible reality, regardless of the cultural domain. Whether it's film, theater, festivals, concerts, or exhibition programs, we understand the essence of production: navigating obstacles and possibilities within defined budgets and time limits.
With more than ten years of experience from working in various production positions, I started as an independent cultural producer in 2015. From the start, AMB Productions hasn’t stood still and has already realized many special projects. To see what we’ve done so far, see the portfolio. Furthermore, I’m applying my extensive knowledge and experience for writing grant applications in the cultural domain.
If you are seeking an independent expert in fundraising and productivity, capable of realizing your cultural plans or drafting applications with decisiveness, (Dutch) directness, and precision, feel free to contact us via the form below.
