When Jake Gyllenhaal was 5 years old, he observed two weeks of rehearsals for the 1988 drama “Running on Empty,” written by his mother, Naomi Foner. “I remember sitting with my mom,” Gyllenhaal said on Saturday afternoon at South by Southwest. “We didn’t have a babysitter or anything like that,” so he’d study actors River Phoenix and Martha Plimpton (whom he had a crush on). “I remember River asking questions about things he wasn’t sure about. I remember all these weird things, and I had no idea who I was around.”

“What I saw,” the actor explained, “was a profound respect for the writer. She happened to be my mother. I tried to carry that through.”

Gyllenhaal shared these memories at a Saturday afternoon conversation in Austin moderated by director David Gordon Green, his collaborator on the upcoming Boston bombing drama “Stronger.”

Jake Gyllenhaal is turning to television.

The actor-producer and his Nine Stories Productions is teaming with A&E to develop an anthology that each season explores a different American cult persona as well as the provocative nature of belief.

Season one of the untitled drama will focus on Jim Jones, the leader of the cult Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ. The potential series in its freshman season would chronicle Jones’ path and the infamous Jonestown commune where in 1978 more than 900 people died in a mass murder/suicide organized by Jones. It ranks as one of the largest single losses of American civilian lives in history.
