Josh Hyde was born in 1979 to an American father and a Filipino immigrant mother. After graduating from Southern Illinois University with a B.A. in Cinema and Photography, he left Carbondale for Cuzco , Peru , where he directed a documentary, Despacho. Hyde later worked as a translator on The New Americans, met his mentor Steve James (Hoop Dreams), and began writing the screenplay for Chicle.
