Master of Arts - Producing

Master of Arts Producing offers students a unique opportunity to develop the necessary skills to become the next generation of entrepreneurs in the screen business world. The programme aims to provide insight into, and mastery of, creative development, physical production, and business and finance in relation to the creative screen industries.

The producing course is designed to be skill-specific (budgeting, production management, raising finance, idea development, pitching) and interdisciplinary (group productions, brainstorming, team building). Throughout the programme, there are opportunities to meet and collaborate with students from complementary pathways, as well as build a professional profile. The focus is not only on understanding individual roles but also on gaining a broader perspective – understanding how others think and how the industry functions.

Why Take the Course?

• Practical: Producers lead teams of directors, cinematographers, screenwriters, and editors on a variety of projects. Networking and pitching skills are also developed throughout the course.
• Real-life Experience: Students find and produce content for external industry clients, with previous examples including HM Treasury, Transport for London, Time Out, Nespresso, DHL, Mind, and Stonewall.
• Professional Tutors: Many of MetFilm School's teaching staff are currently working in the industry as Producers, Production Managers, Commissioners, and more.
