Ani Hoo
Ani Hoo graduated in 2012 with a Diploma in New Media, driven by a strong interest in the media industry and a desire to find her path within it. She joined Mocha Chai Laboratories in 2014 as a Digital Media Mastering Specialist, later becoming Project Manager. During her six years there, she worked primarily on feature films and festival titles. The experience proved pivotal in shaping her career in post-production, supported by the mentorship of Mocha Chai founder Chai Yee Wei and access to facilities equipped with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. This environment gave Ani a strong grounding in technical standards and workflows for cinema.
In 2020, Ani joined the Fox Network Group under the Walt Disney Company as an Editor. She was responsible for preparing and processing assets for linear and non-linear services for broadcast and digital media uses in the Asia Pacific region. She then worked at a subsidiary of TBWA, handling localisation and post-production for major international technology campaigns, managing deliverables under tight timelines while ensuring technical and creative quality.
Ani is currently with Little Red Ants, where she produces post for commercial and short film projects. In parallel, she operates as a post-production supervisor on feature films, including Viet and Nam by Truong Minh Quy and Crocodile Tears by Tumpal Tampubolon. She has developed a strong ability to adapt across different environments: agency and commercial projects demand fast turnarounds and resourceful solutions, while feature films require a slower, more collaborative process with a focus on detail and collective effort. Ani has built a reputation for problem-solving under pressure and maintaining high standards in picture, sound, and subtitles. She believes that precision and quality are essential at every stage of post-production, whether in a quick preview or a final release.
