Ethan’s T-shirt nods to the ongoing strike in Hollywood, promoted by the SAG-AFTRA actors and the WGA writers over an ongoing labor dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television. The director and actor is one of the latest stars to show support for the strike. Olivia Wilde, Amy Adams, Elizabeth Banks, Kerry Washington and more have joined the picket lines in Los Angeles and New York.
Written by Ethan and Shelby Gaines, “Wildcat” is an upcoming film about author Flannery O’Connor, who is portrayed in the movie by Maya. The famed American novelist is best known for her 1955 work “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.”
The daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, Maya recently featured alongside Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks in the Wes Anderson-directed film “Asteroid City.” She is also a singer and is mainly known for her work in “Stranger Things.”
The 2023 Telluride Film Festival is held in the mountain village of Telluride, Colorado, showcasing the latest cinematic work during Labor Day Weekend.
