Metzger joins MRC directly from a 16-year tenure at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), where she worked with artists including Tom Cruise, Ang Lee, Cameron Crowe, Peter Hedges, Robert Benton, Betty Thomas, Spike Jonze, Callie Khouri, Edgar Wright, Richard Lagravenese, James Schamus, John Wells, Nicole Holofcener, Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher.

“We are extremely proud to welcome Tory to MRC. At its heart, our business is about putting the artist first. Who better to lead our film group than someone who has fought tirelessly for, and is greatly respected by, many of the greatest artists of our generation? Combining Tory's tenacity with MRC's capital and infrastructure will ideally make MRC Films a strong, safe place for filmmakers to fulfill their vision," said Asif Satchu and Modi Wiczyk, co-CEOs of MRC.

“I am very excited about working with the team at MRC,” said Metzger. “In the same way that I patterned my own career as agent/advisor, MRC has been built on a foundation of partnering with some of the most artistically respected talent in the movie industry and I look forward to helping build on that foundation and expanding it through the relationships I have been fortunate to develop over the past 16 years. I also want to thank all of my colleagues at CAA for helping me achieve some of my greatest career moments. They are an amazing group of people and I will miss working with them on the inside, although I have a feeling we will be speaking almost daily in my new role at MRC.”

Prior to joining CAA, Metzger was an agent at United Talent Agency. She is a member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and serves on the Advisory Council for the University of California, Santa Barbara Film School. In 2006, Metzger was named to The Hollywood Reporter’s annual “Women In Entertainment Power 100” and was previously recognized in Filmmaker Magazine as one of the leading agents in the independent film industry. In her tenure at CAA, was intimately involved with the Academy Award nominated films “Brokeback Mountain”, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, and “Jerry Maguire." She helped package Paramount’s “World Trade Center” and Paramount/Dreamworks' "Castaway", Warner Bros. films “P.S. I Love You” and “Freedom Writers”; and was a key dealmaker for "Hitch", “Almost Famous”, “Dan in Real Life”, “Pieces of April”, "Adaptation",“Being John Malkovich and Edgar Wright's Working Title current production "Scott vs. the Real World.”

In her executive role at MRC, Metzger will sit on the greenlight committee, and enjoy the support of a substantial team, including Physical Production, International Sales and Marketing, and Legal Affairs.
