Ethan Hawke agree with his daughter Maya Hawke Regarding social media that affects the film and television industry.
In a interview In Berlin Film Festival this week, Ethan, 54, reacted to his daughter Maya’s comments on how the casting directors are apparently more focused on the social media of an actor than the talents these days.
“I really feel for these people. It’s really difficult, ”said Ethan. “Sometimes I’m going to put a film and someone will say:” Oh, you should launch Suzie. “I say to myself:” Who is she? “” She has 10 million followers. I say to myself: ‘Ok cool, did she already act?’ “No, but …” And you said to yourself: “Wow, so it will help me make the film? It’s crazy. “”
He continued: “So, if I do not have this public orientation [platform]I have no career? What if I get more followers, I could get this part? What?”
Ethan’s reaction was in response to Maya’s discussion with Josh Horowitz on the “Happy sad confusion“Podcast on Thursday, February 13, in which she declared that the rise in the influence of social media and public figures made the realization of films” a really confusing line to walk. “”
“It’s like:” I don’t care about Instagram. Instagram sucks. [Directors say] “Okay, but just so that you know, if you have on the many subscribers, you can finance the film.” “Well, I want to make the film. So, ah. “”
Maya, 26, told that she had told the “smart directors” that she was planning to completely delete her Instagram, but they assured her that it is more important than she thinks.
“‘Just so that you know, when I launch a film with certain producers, they give me a sheet with the amount of collective followers that I must get in the casting. So, if you delete your Instagram and lose these subscribers, understand That these are the types of people I have to throw around you, ” explained Maya.
Ethan reiterated these points, telling journalists that he meets “so many young actors think that being an actor is proteins shaking and goes to the gymnasium”.
“I want them to be able to meet Phil[ip Seymour] Hoffman As I did when I was 18, because it is a much more substantial and pleasant life, “he said. “I mean, go to the gymnasium if you want, but that doesn’t make you -” Robert de Niro is not great because he has a six pack. If the room requests it, it will, and it’s great. But it is so much more than that.
