Gints Grūbe selected for ACE 36 with She-Devil
Mistrus Media's founder joins Europe's leading network of independent producers, bringing Dāvis Sīmanis's next feature into the programme.
Gints Grūbe, CEO and producer at Mistrus Media, has been selected for the 36th edition of the ACE Producers Annual Programme. He is one of 18 experienced independent producers chosen for this year's group.
Gints joins with She-Devil (Spīgana), a feature directed by Dāvis Sīmanis. Across 2026 and 2027 the group will meet at three workshops, working through financing, development and company strategy on the projects they brought in. On completing the programme, participants join the ACE Network, a community of producers who share knowledge and co-produce across Europe and beyond.
ACE director Inke Van Loocke described this year's participants as experienced producers working through an industry in transition, connected by a forward-looking approach to how projects and companies are built.
About She-Devil
After losing her family to the NKVD terror campaign, a young woman transforms from a victim into an angel of vengeance whose mission is meting out punishment for the evil deeds.
She-Devil reunites Mistrus Media with Dāvis Sīmanis, whose Maria's Silecene (2024) and The Mover (2018) we also produced. The project is produced by Gints Grūbe and Inese Boka-Grūbe.
Mistrus Media and ACE
The selection continues a long relationship between the company and ACE. Inese Boka-Grūbe completed the ACE 31 Annual Programme with The Bomber and later took Aurora. Newsroom through the ACE Series Special, while Gints himself has taken part in the ACE Leadership Special.
"ACE puts She-Devil in front of some of the most experienced independent producers working today, and I'm looking forward to the conversations that come out of that room. The contacts we make here are the ones that turn into co-productions." — Gints Grūbe
