Jonny Persey

Producer

Jonny Persey is an independent film producer and Director of Met Film, a unique organization based in Ealing Studios, London and BUFA Studios, Berlin. Met Film comprises the UK's fastest largest film school, an award-winning feature film production company, and an independent film sales agency. His producing credits include Swimming with Men, Deep Water; How to Change the World; Wondrous Oblivion; Donor Unknown; Village at the End of the World; The Great Hip Hop Hoax; The Pied Piper of Hutzovina; Heavy Load; French Film; Little Ashes; and Men Who Swim. Meanwhile, under his leadership, Met Film also produced The Infidel. Having studied psychology at Cambridge University and worked for several years as a youth worker and consultant, Jonny Persey produced his first feature film, Everyone's Child, in Zimbabwe in 1996. He then went on to study at the National Film & Television School where he produced a series of acclaimed short films both through the school and independently. Met Film Production is dedicated to the development and production of innovative and commercially driven feature films, and was formed in early 2008 incorporating the team from Jonny's previous company, APT Films. APT's first feature film Solomon and Gaenor was nominated for an Oscar in 2000. The Met Film School provides practical filmmaking courses, based at Ealing Studios in London and BUFA Studios in Berlin. We deliver a range of full and part-time programs from new entrant level upwards, from 2 days to 3 years, including an intensive BA program and an MA program. We believe that the best way to learn filmmaking is to make films, with the support and guidance of experienced industry practitioners.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
