With Karen Pittman (THE MORNING SHOW, AND JUST LIKE THAT)
**Premieres on Kinema April 28**
Synopsis: It’s been six months since that disastrous night in the motel room, and these two guys are nowhere near over it. THE LONG LONG NIGHT is a tragically comedic TV series that follows Pete and Carroll, best friends since kindergarten, as they scramble to build adult lives that contain some semblance of meaning and purpose. The show’s stars, real-life childhood friends Mark Duplass and Barret O’Brien, created the 6-episode first season over the course of two-and-a-half years.
“Something special… There’s undeniable chemistry between real-life childhood friends Duplass and O’Brien… as they probe each other’s psyches, nuances and personality flaws…[The] two actors [are] at the top of their game, having mastered their craft and treating the audience to join them.”
— Brian Farvour, THE PLAYLIST
“An authentic, yet absurdly humorous story.”
— Jennifer Vintzileos, STARRY MAG
