A DISCUSSION AND WORLD PREMIERE: THE END UP (MERRITT WEVER, SCOTT ADSIT)

Tribeca will host the world premiere of USG Audio’s inaugural scripted podcast which stars Himesh Patel, John Reynolds, Merritt Wever, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste and is executive produced by award-winning producer Sam Esmail.

This event will feature cast and creators in a conversation moderated by Scott Adsit. The cinematic series takes place in a tilted near-future where terminal cancer patients who wish to end their suffering must attend a weeklong boot camp. Two best friends wrestle with their goodbye after one enrolls in the program and the other grows skeptical.
