Kevin Hood

Kevin Hood's first work for TV was writing for the popular BBC school drama Grange Hill. He penned the black comedy Work!, starring Jim Broadbent as an unemployed estate agent forced into very alternative employment, which was originally shown in 1991.

At that stage Kevin Hood was already a successfully playwright and his work for theatre by then includes Beached (1987), Astronomer's Garden (1988), Sugar Hill Blues (1990), Hammett's Apprentice (1993) and So Special (1998). He wrote four episodes of the TV series MEDICS and co-devised the award-winning crime drama, SILENT WITNESS (he wrote four episodes of the show including the very first one). His extensive TV CV also includes a number of episodes of EASTENDERS, the thriller
THE ECHO (1998) starring Clive Owen, the epic period drama
IN A LAND OF PLENTY (2001) starring Robert Pugh and the adaptation of Tony Parsons' best-selling book, MAN AND BOY (2002) starring Ioan Gruffudd.

Kevin is now increasingly in demand for feature films, including ON GREEN DOLPHIN STREET for Ecosse Films, DONKEY MILLIONAIRES for Buena Vista, ALEC AND MAY and THE KITE. He wrote Columbia's BECOMING JANE which stars Maggie Smith, Anne Hathaway and Julie Walters, and has been released in March 2007.

Kevin is a director of the company, and works closely with Mark Shivas and Stewart Mackinnon in developing project ideas.
