Their track record of character driven films has resulted in box office success, national awards and critical acclaim. Many films achieved international recognition, travelling to the world's top film and television festivals including Berlin, Locarno, San Sebastian and Toronto, winning a.o. the Crystal Bear (Bluebird) and three times a Prix Europe (Cloaca, The chosen one, Chopsticks).

Firmly rooted in the Netherlands, KeyFilm shows its expertise in co-producing internationally with e.g. Germany, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Luxembourg, Belgium, the UK, Ireland, India and Surinam. The producers work in a large international network of funds, financers and completion bonders. They work with writers and directors with a personal vision, who care about their craft and their audience.

Late 2009 KeyFilm founded KeyDocs, an important player on the national and international market for excellent feature-length documentaries.
