Thank you, Kim. You’ve been an adventure lifesaver. We are so grateful for all your help!
Hello all,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help.
Edwin was incredible and real asset to the team on the ground. William the driver was also exceptional!
Hope to work with you again in the future.
Many thanks,
HI Kim and Abdoulie,
A huge and very big thank you to you both for everything! We are really pleased with the shoot and thank you for all you did for us, we are hugely grateful.
Abdoulie, you were brilliant on the ground, and please do pass on our big thanks to Chinua, Alpha and Foday.
All the very Best,
I’m absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service I received! The entire experience was outstanding – I felt completely safe and supported throughout the process. The end result? A successful production! I’m so grateful and highly recommend!
Absolutely loved working with the team from Hoodlum! We felt taken care of every step of the way, and the team went above and beyond expectations. Cape Town was a pleasure, and we are already strategising how we can bring more clients there!
I have been using Hoodlum for production fixing services for the past six months and have been completely satisfied with their performance. They do an excellent job and are always amenable to on-the-spot changes and always aim to accommodate what we ask of them.
Hi team,
Great news! The footage looks amazing! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to making this project a success. I’m thrilled with the result and look forward to sharing the final edit with you soon. It’s been a pleasure working with you and building new friendships. I hope our paths cross again soon.
During pre-production for a BravoTV show in the Seychelles, I connected with Hoodlum. From our first call, I knew they were the right fit. They stood out with their commitment, communication, cost-effective approach, and enthusiasm. As our ‘fixer’ in the Seychelles, they handled local support, payroll, gear importation, incentives, and logistics. Hoodlum shared our priorities – finance, productivity, and project commitment – making them the perfect partner.
I’m thrilled to have returned to South Africa after a successful shoot in Brazil, made possible by the exceptional support of Douglas. His patience, attention to detail, and dedication to delivering top-notch results made all the difference. Brazil proved to be an excellent location for our project, and I’m grateful for the assistance received. Thank you for your outstanding support!
Hi team – a HUGE thank you for everything last week!!!! we had an amazing time in Cape Town and are already strategizing how we can return ASAP!

Thank you so much for everything, your willingness to go above and beyond to make both our production team as well as the agency team comfortable was without equal.
You served in so many roles that I normally never would have asked you two, and you made everything feel incredibly fluid and magical. I’m really looking forward to working with you and the rest of the team again.
Hi Debbie,
I want to pass along that Minki is amazingly helpful, we’re lucky to have her on this project.
Thank you
Dear darling Minki,
It was pure joy and professionalism working with you and I truly believe this collaboration made our time in SA more enjoyable. From the drives to location, meeting contributors and hanging out outside of work, it will forever stay with me.
Hope to see you and work with you soon once again.=)
Hey Nicole! You guys were fab- we’re a big old company at Fremantle and would very very happily recommend you guys for any African projects any show might be needing help with. The guys said they were in such safe hands so can’t thank you enough for helping us pull it off so last minute!
Thank you Kim & Debbie.
It was a great pleasure working with you and the team.
Let’s keep in touch.
Can I tell you, you are the best supplier I have worked with in my entire eleven years in advertising…
Aunty Debbie, There aren’t enough words to express just how deeply grateful we are for everything you’ve done to make this project the success we know it will turn out to be. We have your friendship and treasure your partnership. You are a superhero!
