Kit Hood is a Canadian television director, writer and producer.
Hood was a film editor with Walt Disney Productions in London, England before immigrating to Canada in 1969. In the early 1970s, he was active editing television commercials.
A member of the Toronto Film Co-operative, he met schoolteacher Linda Schuyler and helped her make a film for the Toronto School Board on immigrant children. The success of that project led Hood and Schuyler to create a production company called Playing With Time to make educational films and documentaries in 1976. The name was inspired by their first educational documentary called Jimmy-Playing With Time (1979). Schuyler has since separated from Hood, and has started her own production company called Epitome Pictures.

Famous quotes containing the word hood:
“Work—work—work,
In the dull December light,
And work—work—work,
When the weather is warm and bright—
While underneath the eaves
The brooding swallows cling
As if to show me their sunny backs
And twit me with the spring.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
