"The multi-hyphenate writer-director-actor returns to the Telluride Film Festival for a Tribute with Berlin prize-winner " Blue Moon" (SPC), in which he plays Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. And Hawke is debuting his new documentary " Highway 99: A Double Album," a two-parter devoted to the life and music of Merle Haggard, which will likely sell to a streamer as it hits the festival circuit. And showing at the Toronto International Film Festival is a new series debuting on FX September 23, " The Lowdown.""
""Seymour was my midlife crisis, right?" said Hawke. "It's an old Shaker expression, but to master a craft, you have to apprentice three that surround it. My real mission is performance. That's what I've done my whole life. That's where the rubber meets the road. But learning about directing, learning about writing, learning about music, learning about these other things helps. It's all connected.""
Ethan Hawke appears at the Telluride Film Festival with Blue Moon, portraying Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, and debuts Highway 99: A Double Album, a two-part documentary about Merle Haggard expected to attract streamer interest. A new series, The Lowdown, debuts on FX at the Toronto International Film Festival. Hawke holds four Oscar nominations and describes himself as exhausted after recent projects. He connects performance with directing, writing and music, citing past roles including portraying Chet Baker and directing Blaze and Seymour: An Introduction. Both current films focus on major American songwriters and the music that shapes personal identity.
