Hoods Inc. Productions was formed in 2001 by a group of like-minded individuals with a need for greater creative control (yes we are control freaks) and immense need for fairness in the media industry. With our low-end five figure life savings, we started the company with lofty ideals and no idea how to reach that gold standard. Having spent most of the 90s and early 2000s working on sitcoms for Mediacorp Channel 5 and current afffairs programmes for Channel NewsAsia, we had been somewhat protected from what the young media scene would hold. With blood, sweat and (a whole lot of) tears, we inched forward, making small strides wherever we could. Freelancers started using Hoods Inc. as a safe haven, with our contract templates and insurance coverage, and at some point, we became a full blown (proper) company, leaping out of our comfort zones to work on local, regional and international projects for dozens of new and recurring clients.
