Jared Hyland

Writer/Filmmaker

Hi! I am an emerging writer and filmmaker from Hobart Tasmania. Having recently completed a degree in Media and focusing on film production, I've spent most of 2024 working on local-upcoming television series, as well as helping produce and direct short films with my friends. Throughout my media production career so far I have created four short films of my own and produced two others. Waiting Room was my final project to complete my University degree, and the culmination of many of the skills I have learnt thus far. My other short films, 'Tommy', 'She Comes at Night' and 'The Barnyard' have all been released online, contributing to my portfolio and showcasing my growth from 2019 until now. 

I am hoping to continue my career in the filmmaking industry by continuing to write short films and producing them with my tight-knit crew, whilst also looking to further develop my screenwriting skills into writing feature-length scripts and to hopefully write and plan to pitch a television series pilot. I'm currently working on pushing Waiting Room around festivals whilst beginning work on my next project.
