‘My Old Ass’ Director Megan Park & Star Maisy Stella Talk How “Buy-In” Nature Of Story Freed Up Aubrey Plaza’s Casting – Contenders Los Angeles


'My Old Ass' director Megan Park and star Maisy Stella spoke about connecting with Aubrey Plaza for Elliott's character in the film: Contenders Film Los Angeles

After its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January, Megan Park ’s sophomore directorial feature My Old Ass arrived in theaters with the last of the summer sun in a September 13 limited release. The coming-of-age comedy film is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, tackling the young-adult approach to growing up and the idea of revisiting those moments years later with 20/20 vision. “We were given the ability to cast younger Elliott first and take an amazing chance, which obviously worked out, on somebody who hadn’t been in a movie before, and then build the entire film around Maisy,” Park said.
