Ally Maki spotted a unicorn while filming “Shortcomings” on the streets of New York last summer. She was mid-scene with her costar Timothy Simons when Radio Man, rode his bike through their shot.
. The film, recently released by Sony Pictures Classics, had its world premiere at Sundance in January.
Maki stars in the drama-comedy as Miko, who leaves her tepid relationship in Berkeley for an internship in New York. Min portrays her movie theater-manager boyfriend, Ben, who explores new relationships — and his attraction to blonde women — in her absence with the support of his gay best friend, played by Cola. “It was the first time in my entire career that I’d read a project that was mainly composed of Japanese American characters,” says Maki.
Maki has seen the finished film several times, and notes that her experience with the story — and her empathy for its various characters — is constantly changing. During the pandemic, Maki founded Asian American Girl Club, an apparel brand that celebrates the AAPI community. In early July, the brand cohosted a screening of “Joy Ride,” which stars Cola, at a theater in Los Angeles.
