#INTERVIEW: MEGAN PARK, MAISY STELLA AND KERRICE BROOKS ON “MY OLD ASS”
By Mr. Will Wong
Since its debut at Sundance earlier this year, anticipation has been high for Megan Park‘s MY OLD ASS. The Actress/Director/Writer who hails from Toronto, has built an impressive track record after Park‘s directorial debut THE FALLOUT swept awards at SXSW ’21, going on to universal praise.
This latest Feature, produced by Margot Robbie‘s Lucky Chap, centers on a teen named Elliott (Maisy Stella) who after getting high on mushrooms, meets her 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza) who warns her not to fall in love. Until she meets exactly the boy who her older self tells her not to fall for.
Park returned to Toronto, along with Stella (also from Toronto), Kerrice Brooks and Carter Trozzolo, who a friend Ro and young brother, Spencer, of Elliott. Also walking the yellow carpet at Cineplex Varisty Cinemas was Park‘s partner Actor/Singer-Songwriter Tyler Hilton who composes the Score for the Film.
Some carpet highlights:
We were thrilled to chat with Park, Stella and Brooks about their experiences working on this Comedy.
Park tells us “I think it’s hard to go into a movie expecting an audience to take away one thing. I don’t want to force any message on anyone, but it is really cool hearing people come out of the movie and when they go home, they call their mom or their dad. That always is really moving to me. I hope that people really feel something and are reminded of how quickly time goes by”.
Stella, who you might remember from TV series NASHVILLE and part of sister singing duo Lennon & Stella, tell us about how she got involved with the project. She says, “I read Megan‘s script for The Fallout and I taped for that, I met her through that and I just really fell in love with her and wanted to work with her so bad. So when I got the MY OLD ASS script it had her name on it, I knew to take it very, very seriously. It was such a good Script. It was such a perfect Script and you actually have to try very hard not to love it.
