After you binge pen15show on hulu, go see mayaerskine in 'Plus One,' in theaters now.
A couple years before she started writing PEN15, Maya Erskine read the script for a rom com called Plus One. The film had already been cast, but its creators—Erskine’s New York University classmates Jeff Chan and Andrew Rhymer—asked her to assist with the table read. Immediately, she fell in love with the story and the character Alice, a raunchy, unapologetic twenty-something who falls in love with her best friend, Ben, after they agree to spend the summer as each other’s plus ones to weddings.
The film eventually fell apart after its investor, Anthony Scaramucci, left to finance Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. When it was resurrected a couple years later, most of the cast had already moved on, which allowed Erskine to audition for and land the role of Alice. “She’s not your typical rom com lead female character who is really cute in everything she does,” Erskine says. “Alice is a trash bomb at first, and she’s still beautiful.
” “As a kid, I didn’t see myself reflected back on the screen, so it subconsciously put that message in your head that it’s not going to happen ever because it’s not something you feel like you can emulate because you don’t see yourself,” Erskine says. “The fact that I got to do that and the fact that it was a fully dimensional human being was a massive deal to me.
