This episodic screening will be followed by an extended 30 minute Q&A with creators and talent.

Search Party is a dark comedy mystery that centers on Dory (Alia Shawkat), her clueless boyfriend Drew (John Reynolds), and her narcissistic best friends, Elliott (John Early) and Portia (Meredith Hagner) who are not crime solvers in the least. So when Dory drags them down the rabbit hole of a bumbling pursuit to find a missing girl who they can barely remember from college, they become entangled in a sinister plot that is more than their privileged Brooklyn lifestyles ever bargained for.
