Hyde Hooligan Films is a group of filmmakers full of diverse individuals with men and women from various backgrounds coming together to tell narrative stories. We not only embrace our diversity, but we also don't see our individual traits as leverage or a crutch to what we do. That being said, we posted an article recently about how US states may be stepping in to prevent tax incentives from being delivered to productions that are not investigating possible misconduct alleg

We've been talking about the uptick of streaming services by major studios coming soon. From Disney to NBCUniversal to WarnerMedia, Netflix has lasted the test of time in a realm dominated by cable subscriptions and AVOD platforms like YouTube. It's no wonder that their lack of hard numbers of streamers on their service has broadsided the industry over and over again. In an article by Tim Goodman on THR, Netflix has boasted unconfirmed numbers that drives the major studios

January has been a whirlwind of a month so far! We just got back from a Daymond John seminar and have many new ideas on how to structure our business. On top of that, the trailer for the short film PROUD has just dropped! The Hooligans took to the set and filled the role as Script Supervisors, and then continued on to the Editing Room. The trailer just came out today so check it out! PROUD Trailer on Vimeo http://bit.ly/2sNbKuF There are other projects still on the line f

As we pass the halfway mark through January, I can't help but remember all that's transpired in the past couple of weeks. The Wandering Kiltsman is another step closer to being launched as the Hooligans are setting up the back-end policies, paperwork, and... other "P" words, I suppose. I'm... tired... but still felt like updating this since we've been blessed with business and busyness. This next venture for the Wandering Kiltsmen pits one of our Hooligans into one of his p

The Hooligans met with B Co Creative Agency today who has a lot more experience in marketing and branding than we do, and I must say WHEW are we happy we did!! It was such a fantastic melding of minds! To be clear, my intentions were for a formal introductory meeting to my team with theirs as I already knew them beforehand. One of the most fantastic happenings was that they knew all the questions we have been mulling over ourselves before we even mentioned them. To me, th

Us here at Hyde Hooligan Films fill our day with a lot. Like a lot a lot. Even during the holiday weekend, we've been building and creating to no end. It's just what we love to do! As such, some of us have recently started up our own pages so people can see us as we are (links below). We come from diverse backgrounds, but a huge similarity we share is that we all come from nothing. We don't come from money, we haven't ridden on someone else's coattails - we've built fro

One of the toughest moves I've made this year was to open my own production company quickly. I had mentioned to one of my business partners that I felt I incorporated prematurely as there was plenty of work that wasn't completed at the time. He assured me that the timing was right even if it didn't seem that way. Although I do agree with him in that a lot has changed since then, I still feel that playing "catch up" isn't the right way to go about it. I can also recognize

The Hooligans have headed back home after 4 days down at the American Film Market. As our first time there, we attended under the premise that we were there to learn. As mentioned in previous blogs here, we were completely humbled by the number of people that helped us out and are so very grateful for them! Did You Learn Anything? Ohhhh yeah we did! As I said, our goal was purely to network and educate ourselves on the market and the types of deals Distributors and Buyers

The Hooligans have made it down to AFM (American Film Market) this year! It's our first time here, and in just 2 days we learned so much. From traversing the Loews Hotel floor-by-floor to hanging out on the Santa Monica Pier's Carousel for Cocktail Hour, our time in just 2 days have been phenomenal and eye-opening! Us Hooligans have always adopted a learning mentality to every situation that we've encountered and this was no different. We quickly understood the movement an
