The series was 'born out of me wanting to put a woman’s sexual pleasure at the center of a narrative,' the writer-actor says of her series.
If there’s a trailer moment in Roku’s seven-part series “Slip,” it’s when the show’s creator and star, Zoe Lister-Jones, utters the immortal words, “I think my p— is a wormhole.” It may sound like a crude double-entendre, but it’s actually a pretty apt description of the show.
“A p— as a wormhole is something that I can’t necessarily tell you where it came from. It just came to me one day, and I thought that’s the show I must make. I can make no other show than that,” Lister-Jones says about a series conceived and written during the pandemic, born out of restlessness and contemplation on roads not taken. “It was also born out of me wanting to put a woman’s sexual pleasure at the center of a narrative and finding a way to do that.
Growing up in Brooklyn the daughter of fine artists, Lister-Jones was acting professionally by her early 20s, appearing on and off-Broadway and in TV’s “New Girl” and in films such as the Will Ferrell comedy “The Other Guys.” She made her directorial debut with the comedystarring Fred Armisen, which was nominated for the grand jury prize at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
In 2009, she starred in the indie film “Breaking Upwards,” which she co-wrote with writer-director Daryl Wein. The couple went on to make two more films together, “Lola Versus” and “Consumed,” marrying in 2013 and divorcing in 2022.
