My Take
What draws me to Maya Kazan is the quiet seriousness of her craft. A Los Angeles native with a Wesleyan education, she broke through as Eleanor Gallinger on The Knick, but it's the breadth that interests me: stage, screen, and directing all at once. That last part tells me she's curious about the whole machinery of storytelling, not just being in front of the lens. I tend to root for performers who build careers patiently rather than chase visibility, and she reads as exactly that kind of artisan. I'd happily watch whatever she chooses to make next, on either side of the camera.
