About me
Jeffrey J. Akau has continued to establish a reputation for being the "go-to film guy." He has crewed in almost every position on set and has directed over a dozen short films, commercials, music videos, and personal projects. With a sense of finding quick and forward-thinking solutions, he continues to push forward in his career as a filmmaker.In 2004, J.J. had literally run away with the circus and traveled the country as an Animal Care Attendant for the elephants of Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey's Circus. After coming home from the circus in 2006, he joined the US Marine Corps as an IT Specialist for 5 years. Upon leaving the Marine Corps, the job market reached an all-time low and he returned home to the Bay Area. It was then that he chose to go back to school to further his education in a field he truly loved: FILM!!
After achieving his Bachelors in Digital Film and Video Production and graduating as the Valedictorian of his class, J.J. began networking in search of like-minded, passionate filmmakers and storytellers to create a group of professionals and amateurs in the Bay Area - an area dominated by corporate and commercial ventures. It was here in Feb 2016 that he created HYDE HOOLIGAN FILMS in order to build a narrative presence in the vast business-dominated area.
Today, J.J. continues to link professional and amateur film workers by inviting them to participate on fast-paced, professional sets as well as mentoring newer groups and individuals in the filmmaking process.
