PEN15

Middle school as it really happened. Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle star in this adult comedy, playing versions of themselves as thirteen-year-old outcasts in the year 2000, surrounded by actual thirteen-year-olds, where the best day of your life can turn into your worst with the stroke of a gel pen.

Directed by Anna Konkle, Sam Zvibleman, Maya Erskine, PEN15 leans on a strong ensemble — Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, Mutsuko Erskine — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2019.
