Like APT Films before it, Met Film Production will be dedicated to the development and production of innovative feature films which seek to attract audiences both nationally and internationally, and are at the same time driven by both artistic integrity and commercial sensibility.

Met Film Production is part of the Met Film group, which comprises the Met Film School , Met Film Post , Met Film Creative (which offers corporate services), and now Met Film Production. Met Film is based at Ealing Studios, and is part of the Arts Alliance Media network.

As a production company, Met Film Production will continue to pride itself on its commitment to fostering relationships with both new and established talent. They already have a have a rich tradition of development activity and shorts production, and through the Met Film School will see a rich flow of opportunity and talent. Integration with postproduction company, Met Film Post, and the relationships with other companies through the Arts Alliance Media network and within Ealing Studios put the company in a uniquely strong position, and provide a synergistic working environment for emerging and established film industry professionals.
