Biography
Hay was raised outside of Akron, Ohio.[1] While in college at Brown University, he joined an improv comedy group where he met his future partner Matt Manfredi.[1]
All of his film screenwriting work has been with writing partner Matt Manfredi.[2] Their technique for joint screenwriting is to each write separate scenes and then trade them to each other for further rewrites.[3] In 2002, Hay and Manfredi directed the film Bug, with Manfredi being credited as the sole screenwriter of the film.
Hay has been married to filmmaker Karyn Kusama since 2006. Hay co-wrote the screenplay for The Invitation, directed by Kusama. They have one child together.
