Rachel Sennott discussing her uproarious comedy portraying that grotty glamour of younger generation lifestyle
The star appears on the video call and right away starts an apology. “I can’t believe I’m late!” she states, appearing really remorseful. She is only slightly behind, she wants to explain. “My phone conversations always run long.” “Previous discussions went over, and I realized I talk too much!” Thankfully, for a writer, that’s exactly what is ideal to experience. Besides, it’s quite predictable. Viewers who have seen the unapologetically openly gay and unapologetically crass movie titled Bottoms—which Sennott collaborated on with the director and appeared in alongside collaborator the talented actress—would be aware that Sennott possesses much to discuss, be it on identity, sex, or the appeal of starting a youth brawl society. Plus, once you finish her recent seasonal program I Love LA, viewers realize that the star has further perspectives about the challenges of modern youth (Now in her thirties, she serves as a bridge to younger audiences, a tale-end millennial adept for bridging different age groups).
Influences and Storytelling Approach
Parallels to Lena Dunham’s groundbreaking show can’t be avoided and the actress readily acknowledges an admirer, referencing it in addition to Sex and the City, Issa Rae’s show and Atlanta as influences for I Love LA, which tracks the journey of an influencer played by Odessa A’Zion and ally and new representative Sennott’s character. Notably, the most significant presence on creative vision went to Entourage, that program depicting an emerging Hollywood star making his way in an often-seedy entertainment industry (memorable line: “only the unsuccessful find joy here”). She started watching it throughout the pandemic, became “obsessed”, and resolved to add a fresh perspective on it “with female and queer audiences in mind”.
“My aim was to focus on digital fame over traditional entertainment, as my own beginnings were on the web,” she notes. The concept for I Love LA emerged—partly—from her own, originally rocky, move to Tinseltown and from the astrological phase, a frequently discussed event for enthusiasts. It was a time that saw her learn significant insights, work-wise and individually. “In my early 20s I was so messy, crying in public everywhere, all the time,” she admits. “After relocating to Los Angeles in my mid-twenties, I found stability, only for things to crumble. “The struggles felt almost mythic in scale…”
Humble Origins
Brought up in Connecticut, the star began writing and performing comedy while pursuing theatre at a prestigious arts school. “I went through all the proper channels to try to perform, and they weren’t gelling,” she says. “Auditions for university comedy troupes led to universal rejection. “Theatre productions at school also didn’t accept me. “I wondered why I was even there at all.”
Sennott took matters into her own hands, taking the stage at live shows with Ayo and sharing hilarious (and decidedly) weird comedy videos online. A particular video, titled Baby Cult, centered on a group of women obsessively fixated on motherhood; a different one portrayed being employed at the brand Hollister as like being stuck in a horror film. In a neat twist of fate, she encountered Emma through NYU’s movie community and ended up starring in her first film, Shiva Baby, an anxious comedy set at a funeral gathering with shades of the intense thriller. The central motif of her path, she explains, has been contemporaries supporting her, as opposed to traditional networks. So the old guard wasn’t helpful? “They were not involved”, she confirms, adding amusedly: “They prefer we don’t succeed.”
Manifesting Dreams
Those who had doubts regarding her previously will surely be kicking themselves now. As part of she calls a “astonishingly complete” story, she has manifested the perfect project. In 2019 she posted a video called “it’s LA” online, in which she mocked Hollywood trailers (“Substance abuse is rampant here”). Years later, she’s the co-showrunner (with Emma Barrie) of a comedy about city dwellers juggling advantages of online celebrity (such as partying at a famous actor’s house) with drawbacks (your friend being suspected of being a drug-addled thief, and possibly becoming a risky pariah). One might tempting to produce a series about internet celebrity that was horribly glamorous—or, worse, one that punched down at those depicted. The series avoids both, resulting in a representation of privileged twentysomething living that’s frank about the chaos and the shine.
Empathetic Approach
“Many programs portray youth and online life with disdain and mockery,” she comments. “I think that young people have been through a lot – I’m mostly thinking of people younger than me, like my little sister, who went to college during Covid, so she had to come home, or my other sister who was doing school online.”|“The younger generation has faced significant
