Josh Hyde (Born March 13, 1979) is an American writer, director and independent filmmaker. His films, including the award winning short Chicle, have traveled the world over, achieving critical acclaim at such respected film festivals as Berlin International and Tribeca International. Hyde is known for his personal, character driven narratives that often explore the themes of cultural identity and global politics; a likely result of his own bi-racial identity as an American-Filipino filmmaker. Hyde currently resides in the New York borough of Brooklyn. ==Background and education== Josh Hyde was born on March 13, 1979 to an American father and Filipino immigrant mother in St. Louis, Missouri. The second of three children, Hyde was raised in Carbondale, Illinois, naturally excelling in foreign language and the arts. After graduating from Southern Illinois University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cinema and Photography, Josh left the U.S. for Cusco, Peru, where he directed ''Despacho'', a documentary examining the cultural exchange between western medicine and indigenous Peruvian shamanistic techniques. Upon his return, Hyde moved to Chicago, IL where he interned with the prestigious Kartemquin Films and was introduced to his mentor, Steve James (''Hoop Dreams, Stevie, The New Americans, The Reel Paradise''.) There he worked as a translator on ''The New Americans'', and began writing the screenplay for ''Chicle Y Postales.'' In 2003 Hyde entered the MFA program at Ohio University, working closely under acclaimed Croatian director/producer, Rajko Grlic(''Border Post, Josephine, Caruga, Sretno Dijete''). In the summer of 2004 Hyde returned to Cusco to shoot the short film version of his feature-length script, entitled ''Chicle''. To date the short film has played in festivals the world over, including: Tribeca Int’l, Hamptons Int’l, Berlin Int’l, Mill Valley, Vladviostock Int’l, Brisbane Int’l, Black Mariah, Chicago Int’l, Zimbabwe Int’l, and Athens Int’l. Its honesty and innocence resonates strongly with both American and International audiences, consequently landing itself in the Korean National Film Archive, where it is viewed as an example of excellence in film textbooks and curriculum.〔("Finance Vs.
