The Story Of A Team, A Story All Of It Mine

Written by Stephen Goss It’s May 2020. I’m roughly two-thirds of the way through a diploma at London Film Academy (LFA) and we’re firmly into lockdown. I either remember or trip across this festival that my tutors mentioned on and off, and discover that it’s gone online and will be starting in a few days.

What is Transmedia? (And Why we Think It’s Awesome)

“Transmedia” is an industry term for stories that transcend just one type of media – be it videos, podcasts, or written fiction. Even though HOOD began its life as a TV pilot, it has grown into so much more with the help of our fabulous team of creatives. But why did we decide to take this approach? To Tell Better and Different Stories Different types of media lend themselves to different modes of storytelling. If the inner thoughts of a character are key, then written fiction is best equipped to handle it. When you want to absorb an audience in…

The HOOD Sizzle Reel Campaign Begins June 8!

What’s a “sizzle reel” you ask? It’s like a visual proof of concept for the characters and world of HOOD.

This is an important first step to bring the world of HOOD to life.  We aren’t asking for much - just enough to pay our cast and crew for their time and talent. If we surpass our initial goal, we’ve also got some…
