In the Screening Room with Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke

Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke detail their history of watching movies together, which ones they have distinct memories of, and which ones informed their new film, Wildcat. Wildcat captures the artistic life of author Flannery O'Connor, and is in limited release in the US starting May 3, with expansion to new cities thereafter.

I love these two, I love watching people be EXCITED about art, and not just the movies they love, but how they're made, and who makes them, and with what, and it's just so neat.

Maya is a student of film and she loves to talk about movies with her dad. Ethan did a great job raising his daughter.

i love ethan hawke between the two sleeping dogs on the sofa, beautiful <3

Why is this only 21 minutes long? I could’ve listened to them talk about movies for hours and hours.

[BeStillandKnow]

They are both so passionate, and they feed off of each other's enthusiasm. It's so fun to watch.

too many people have podcasts but… if they had one..

Love the two Hawkes how they talk about movies and their doggos🤩🐶🎬.

Must be so cool to have a daughter that shares your passion & you can introduce to great films. Guess watching them experience those films you love for the first time is as close as you can get to reliving the joy of seeing those great films yourself for the first time. They made some great choices here too. Days Of Heaven is one of my all-time favourites.

[seaconfused]

Their love and happiness talking about films is infecting! Such a joy to see/hear them both. Interesting that Ethan and Vincent D'Onofrio are best friends (apparently both great dads) and they made films with their daughters. I would loved to see a conversation, sitting on couches, having coffee and talking about acting and parenting with the four of them.

I could have watched them "talk shop" all day. This feeds my soul, man I love film.

[melissacarter]

Maya is so very lucky she was enrolled in the school of the arts and movie making since she was a child via her exuberant and extremely talented dad whose knowledge base is limitless. I am also sure she was given exceptional guidance from her beautiful and equally talented mother too. She has blossomed so expertly. I enjoy her music so much and i hope to see her live one day. Thank you for this great interview between the Hawkes.

The joy these two and this video bring me. Not to mention Letterboxd and the art of film. THANK YOU.

[stevenscott]

Please make more of these with different teams. That being said I could listen to Ethan Hawke talk movies forever. And Maya is definitely growing on me as a young actor.

[deltasceptile]

Of course it makes sense that A Bug's Life is so special to them. It released in 1998, the same year that Maya was born.

[Jacobunny]

What a fab father-daughter conversation and reflection on film watching. Enjoying my own process of this with my two teens now 😍

[brianformo]

I love this so much.... from the deconstruction of the biopic to the proper assessment of when to use voiceover and went to not to the dogs and blanket, this is just so chill and cool

[DecAllTimeAlways]

Maya was born in 1998 but she’s a true film buff. Ethan and Uma raised her well.

[BestofItMoviedoc]

So Ethan is the world’s greatest dad, too. Figures. He’s such a fascinating man.

[FrederickLopez]

I love this video. It's great seeing father and daughter discuss their experiences with the art of film.

[damiansommer]

I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone talk about Arctic Thunder in the wild.
