Editors - Tai Erskine, Amelia Allwarden, John Daigle

The PEN15 editing team of Tai Erskine, Amelia Allwarden and John Daigle (along with editor Matt McBrayer) form the post production backbone of Hulu's original series.  Starring and co-created by Maya Erskine (Tai's sister) and Anna Konkle, PEN15 is described as a "middle school as it really happened" comedy.  That is if two of your classmates were actually in their thirties!
