Episode 31 - The Art of Screenwriting: Insights from David Hyde
In this episode of the Faith and Family Filmmakers Podcast, hosts Geoffrey Whitt and Jaclyn Whitt talk with David Hyde, an award-winning screenwriter and script consultant, to discuss his journey into screenwriting, the process of working on different projects, and the special challenges that come with writing for someone else's vision. David shares insights from his career, including starting a screenplay at 19 and finishing it at 49, turning screenplays into stage plays, and consulting on various projects. He also talks about a unique project he's currently working on called 'No Address,' a drama that deals with homelessness, as well as his involvement in founding the Scripts4C screenwriting contest. The conversation extends into the dynamics of co-writing, the process of adapting scripts for different formats, and the importance of script consulting to refine and polish screenplays.
