In the beginning The HAND Company was mainly an entertainment production and dÈcor company booking live bands and a variety of other entertainment for corporate and private clients around the country. Steve Hand’s background as the original Director of Catering for the Bel Age Hotel in Los Angeles, as well as assistant Managing Director of the prestigious Regency Club in Westwood, California was opportunistic in offering his personal clients a level of expertise very few, if any other entertainment dÈcor company had.

Through Steve’s entertainment expertise and industry connections there arose an offer to produce movie trailers for 20th Century Fox Film Corporation for their Pay TV division.

This began a run of six years producing movie trailers for pay TV, home video, and the international airline industry, in conjunction with producing special events around the country. 20th Century Fox as well as Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, and MGM Studios became Steve’s clients. He produced all of the MGM international product reels for the Cannes film festivals, Mifed (the Italian film festival), and the American film market during this time. For four of those years The HAND Company produced more movie trailers for the pay television markets around the country than any other company in the United States. The HAND Company also produced the only 50th anniversary video tributes to “Gone with the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz” in addition to the 25th anniversary tributes to the animations classics: “Tom and Jerry” and “The Pink Panther”, all for MGM Studios.

By the mid 90ties producing movie trailers for the entertainment industry’s pay TV business were all but gone for independent companies. Studios, to save money were producing them in house, if at all.

During the early part of the Clinton White House, the corporate event business was also off. Many corporations were downsizing and cutting budgets, making it difficult to justify spending large amounts of money on special events.

This sparked The HAND Company to change direction and become a consulting company working with small businesses to build them stature, and market awareness. During this time Steve Hand opened the very upscale Hollywood Party Rentals in Los Angeles as Vice President.

After the initial year and a half of Hollywood Party Rentals existence, The HAND Company transferred Hollywood Party Rentals to its roster of clients and became their consultant company.

Then in 2003, after giving in to the urging of his peers within the event industry it was time to bring focus back to the production aspects of The HAND Company.

Steve Hand successfully re-launched The HAND Company, LLC as a nationally recognized full service production company specializing in corporate incentive trips, award shows, new product launches, grand openings, unveilings, and employee events.

The HAND Company excels in personal service and creativity, incorporating only the top people and companies within the event industry on their team. They are the perfect partners for the corporation or individual who appreciates quality and style.
