"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may," is a phrase a young ETHAN HAWKE took to heart while filming "Dead Poets Society," the Academy Award-winning drama that launched his career as an actor.

Hawke co-wrote and directed "Blaze," a drama about the life of country western musician Blaze Foley. The film is based on the memoir Living in the Woods in a Tree by Foley's life-long love Sybil Rosen, who served as co-writer with Hawke. "Blaze" is produced by Hawke and his wife Ryan for their Under The Influence banner, and reunited Hawke with "Born to be Blue" producer Jake Seal, and long-time collaborator John Sloss ("Boyhood") from Cinetic Media.
