They also discuss their time on set, why Maya was never anxious about her father directing, the important part Laura Linney played on set.
The Big Picture Academy Award-nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the director’s chair for Wildcat, a biographical drama on the life of a young Flannery O’Connor he co-wrote, which celebrated its second screening at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
ETHAN HAWKE: Briefly put, it's the story of Flannery O'Connor, one of the most brilliant American writers. She was writing in the ‘50s and she died in the early ‘60s, and the movie follows a few months of her life when she was about 24 years old and was given a death sentence.
ETHAN: What is interesting is that I've been acting for 30 years or so, and I've learned that when an actor has a real passion for a part, for a character, when there's something inside them that they really want to communicate, it's really smart to hitch your wagons to that horse because that kind of passion can make something beautiful. You can build around that.
ETHAN: You really don't know. And the truth is almost any story could be great if told the right way. One of my favorite Flannery O'Connor lines is that any human being who lives to around the age of eight has more than enough material for a lifetime. Whatever is happening – you could write a great novel about the Collider set here if you were observant enough.MAYA: [Laughs] You could do, like, sketch comedy.
You've been directed by very talented people, but what is it like when your dad is giving you direction and maybe you're not delivering exactly what he wants? MAYA: I have been sitting with the dream of this project for so long that being a part of bringing it into reality in that editing way– When I came and saw an early cut, I was like, “Oh, I want to see it when it's done.” I felt so vulnerable in that process because I put so much of myself into it, and I love the movie so much now. But I wanted the director to shape the movie. Someday, I hope to get to sit in an editing room, but it wasn't today.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna have to ask another question, but it's not about this film. How do you feel when someone's sitting across from you wearing a bootleg shirt of a movie that you did?ETHAN: [Laughs] Yeah, “Do I get a profit?” No, I think mysterious thoughts even to myself.
