Maya Hawke Talks Wishful Thinking, Stranger Things, Hunger Games | The Rolling Stone Studio

#mayahawke joins Brian Hiatt at The Rolling Stone Studio live at ‪@SXSW‬, sponsored by ‪@Delta‬, to talk about her excellent upcoming album 'Matreiya Corso,' her acclaimed new movie 'Wishful Thinking' (with Lewis Pullman), the grief of saying goodbye to #strangerthings, stepping into the #hungergames universe, and the "gremlin" in her head who's never satisfied. The interview marks the first time Hawke has spoken publicly about 'Maitreya Corso,' a concept album about ambition, contentment, and falling in love. She explains why she always asks permission before writing about people — including #sadiesink, whose name is dropped in one new song.  Elsewhere in the interview, she addresses Robin not getting a final scene with her girlfriend, and why she understands how Stranger Things' sorrow over the end of the show led them to invent Conformity Gate. Plus: Hunger Games as "anti-fascist, populist art," and much more. ⸻ Talent: Maya Hawke Interviewer: Brian Hiatt Director of Social & Video: Waiss Aramesh Head of Film & Premium Content: Alexandra Dale Executive Producer: Christopher Hwisu Kim Senior Producer & Shoot Director: Viviane Feldman Producer, Shoot Director & Editor: Mitch Saavedra Director of Photography (Video): MJ Johnston Camera operators: Leland Ohlinger, Dè Randle, Caleb Kuntz Sound: Ferrick Hallaron Technical Director: Brent Klein Digital Technician: Michael Solano PA: Mel Bueno Creative Director: Joe Hutchinson Executive Music Editor: Christian Hoard Co-Editors in Chief: Sean Woods, Shirley Halperin CEO: Julian Holguin    / rollingstone
