Produced by Lingo Pictures, “Upright” follows a shabby musician, played by Minchin, who has to drive across Australia with nothing but a piano, and finds his baggage increases when a runaway girl comes into his life.
“Upright” will make its U.S. premiere in a special screening and Q&A with Minchin with the ATX Television Festival in mid-July and begin screening on Sundance Now on August 6 with the first two episodes. Star, composer, executive producer and co-writer Minchin said, “The reactions to ‘Upright’ in the U.K. and Australia have been like nothing I’ve ever experienced, and I can’t wait for Americans to see it. It’s quintessentially Aussie and, at the same time, utterly universal.”
