A A C Productions Ltd Ljubljana was established in 1993 as one of the first (but not the first) independent film production companies in Slovenia. As many other film directors active at that time Igor Šterk also felt that having his own production company would offer him the best possible conditions to produce his own films. At first Šterk planned to use his company just for the production of his own films but later the A A C Productions was used also to produce some shorts by other directors. Among those are Vlado Škafar's short experimental film Stari Most (The Old Bridge, 1998), which was shot in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Sonja Prosenc's Nič novega, nič pretiranega (Free Spirited Friends, 2005) for example.
