Born in 1925, O’Connor was a highly regarded fiction writer in the Southern Gothic style.
In “Wildcat,” which had its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Hawke pulls from the author’s fiction to tell her story.
He and his daughter Maya Hawke, the film's star, wanted to showcase O’Connor’s ability to capture the human condition in prose.
“I used her own writing to tell the story.”O’Connor’s writing won several literary awards, and she was featured on a postage stamp in 2015.
