Tyler Hummel is a recent graduate from Tribeca Flashpoint College in Chicago, a freelance sound effects editor and a producer for Fox Valley TV in Sugar Grove. To date he has written and director a total of three films including Myself and Me. He is also the host of the bi-monthly talk show The Fox Valley Film Critics on FVTV.
There is a dark idea at the core of Myself and Me. Here is a character who wakes up one average morning to a lovely cup of coffee and toast to find himself haunted by visions of past versions of himself. Is he hallucinating? Is he completely crazy? Does it even matter?
What's most important is what they make him realize. Jack looks through the crowd of himself and realizes how truly bizarre his life and ID are. Myself and Me in it's essence is a film about looking into the mirror and realizing you really don't like yourself. While our hero finds himself in a dark place though he is ultimately offered a small glimmer of hope. Despite his past that he must carry with him, he has the opportunity to grow.
