S5 Ep 6 — This is a special bonus episode of Hallmark Movie Drafts!

We’re joined by Filmmaker and producer Jen Silliman— known for Hearts of Stars and the documentary Dark Side of the Full Moon —to talk about her upcoming documentary projects centered around one of Hallmark’s most passionate fan communities: The Hynies.

If you’re a fan of Tyler Hynes, you already know—this fandom is something special.

Jen shares how what started as a documentary celebrating the joy, connection, and community of the Hynies quickly uncovered something much bigger…

➡️ A widespread network of social media impersonators pretending to be Tyler Hynes
➡️ Real Hallmark fans being scammed out of money and emotionally manipulated
➡️ A story so complex, it will became TWO separate documentaries

In this conversation, we explore:

💙 The positive power of the Hynies fan community

🎬 Why Jen is splitting the project into two different films

⚠️ The alarming rise of fake celebrity accounts targeting Hallmark fans

🕵️‍♀️ How these scams work—and why they’re so effective 🎄 The unique culture of Hallmark fandom (and why it’s worth protecting)

One film will celebrate the heart of the Hynies.
The other? A deeper dive into the dark side of fandom and online deception.

This episode is a must-listen for Hallmark movie fans, Tyler Hynes devotees, and anyone who’s ever interacted with a “celebrity” account online.
