Richard Hyde: Screenwriter in Perth, Australia.

Ha! I knew the request by "Judd Apatow" to join my network was too good to be true. But it succeeded in getting me to sign into Stage 32 for the first time in several years. Wow, a lot has been happening since then...

It's been a looooooooong time since I've wandered the virtual halls of Stage 32. That's not to say I haven't been writing. A feature script that I've been developing with a director is now in the financing phase with a team of producers onboard; I gutted out a new draft of the thriller script Turbulence after being blocked on it forever; and I have commenced working on a new feature project with a local director. More details to come but this serves as a hello... again! waves

Sue! Well hello and welcome :-)

Perth is widely touted as the most remote city in the world. Recent coverage of the search for MH370 on international media has struggled to correctly place us on a map. Yet we have amazing talent here - acting, directing, and crew. Perth is also the home to the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) whose most famous alum is Hugh Jackman. Now, I'm a screenwriter so I'm not involved in theatre per se other than to say I have a lot of acting friends who tread the boards. I like to go along and support their stage endeavours but lately I've been seeing more and more theatre. In exchange for being lavishly entertained I now write reviews which you can find here: http://perththeatrereviews.blogspot.com.au/ You may not be able to find us on a map, you may know none of the names of the people involved in these productions but trust me, the next Hugh Jackman is out there waiting to be discovered. Hope you enjoy the reviews.

You might want to check this out on ISA Writing Gigs: http://www.networkisa.org/writing-gigs.php "AN AUSSIE WRITER NEEDED FOR TRANSLATION I am looking for an Australian screenwriter to adopt an American English screenplay to Australian dialect. Basically, you just need to make minor dialogue adjustments paying close attention to maintaining the proper character voice. The screenplay is to be produced this spring in Perth."

After seeing a local production of The Phantom of the Opera last weekend I have come full circle in my appreciation of musical theatre: http://rwhyde.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/enter-stage-left-singing-personal....

Um, so, hello everyone. I'm a screenwriter (from Australia) so obviously I don't talk to people or get out much blinks Anywho, as the kids these days say, I am currently rewriting a thriller script; working on a web series; and I have a workshop for a short film script next month. The easiest way to get a sense of who I am as a writer is to check out my blog at www.rwhyde.blogspot.com.au or if you are enamoured of Zuckerberg's empire: www.facebook.com/rwhyde Or, you know, stop by here and say hello. Especially if you bring cake. That would be nice. Or maybe a muffin? I'll leave that up to you. Except don't make it a croissant. I'm not really a fan. There, I said it.

As a screenwriter I know many local actors. A lot of them also tread the boards and I'm always pleased to support them by attending their plays and musical theatre productions. On occasion I write reviews which you can find, along with posts from my screenwriting blog, here: https://www.facebook.com/rwhyde Richard Hyde

Some thoughts on Thursday night's CIT advanced diploma screenings... "I had the great pleasure of going to the graduation night screenings for the Central Institute of Technology on Thursday. Amongst the five films was For Better Or Worse, the one I wrote (based on previous drafts by Nathan Abrahams and Jacob Kemp). So I was excited and nervous as I had not seen anything up to this point." http://rwhyde.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/when-words-become-film-screening-n...
