“The only thing you can’t get back is time. It goes by so fast.” Amazon MGM Studios has revealed an official trailer for an indie coming-of-age dramedy titled My Old Ass, which first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, also showing at the Provincetown & Sydney Film Fests. It’s the latest feature from Canadian filmmaker Megan Park, produced by Margot Robbie, and set / shot up in Canada following a young woman at the end of her time living at home before she heads to university. A mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott face-to-face with her 39-year-old self – starring Aubrey Plaza as the “older” version of herself. But when Elliott’s “old ass” delivers warnings, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about family, life, and love. She ends up tumbling into a romance with a worker boy named Chad, played by Percy Hynes White. My Old Ass stars Maisy Stella as Elliott, with Maddie Ziegler, Kerrice Brooks, Maria Dizzia, and Al Goulem. This has a different vibe than you might be expecting, it’s not really a time travel film, it’s more of a heartfelt coming-of-age flick made in Canada about respecting the process of growing up.
Here’s the first official trailer for Megan Park’s film My Old Ass, direct from YouTube:
“Growing up is a trip.” In this fresh coming-of-age story from writer & director Megan Park, an 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott (Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza). But when Elliott’s “old ass” starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn’t do, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what’s becoming a transformative summer. My Old Ass is written & directed by Canadian actress / singer / filmmaker Megan Park, making her second feature film after directing The Fallout previously, plus many other music videos. Produced by Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara, Steven Rales, and Margot Robbie. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Amazon MGM Studios will debut Park’s My Old Ass film in select US theaters starting on September 13th, 2024 later this year. Look good?
