Tony Hale’s ‘Sketch’ Takes Flight: Angel Studios Sets Release Date for Whimsical Adventure
Buckle up, cinephiles, because the film world just got a delightful shake-up. Angel Studios, the powerhouse behind the box office hit ‘Sound of Freedom,’ has snatched up Seth Worley’s quirky cinematic gem, ‘Sketch.’ Set to grace theaters on August 6, this film is not your run-of-the-mill family flick; it’s a wild ride that brings to life the hilariously dark art of a child. Yes, you heard that right—think of it as ‘The Babadook’ if it had a quirky sense of humor or ‘Goosebumps’ with a sprinkle of brilliance. Critics are already buzzing after its triumphant debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received rave reviews for its audacious style and inventive storytelling.
Starring the ever-charismatic Tony Hale alongside a stellar cast including D’Arcy Carden, Bianca Belle, and Kue Lawrence, ‘Sketch’ tells the tale of a single father embroiled in chaos when his daughter’s doodles spring to life and wreak havoc in their small town. Hale, who also serves as a producer, has partnered with Steve Taylor and Dusty Brown to bring this offbeat narrative to fruition. Worley himself has dedicated an impressive seven years to this passion project, stating that the film embodies his essence, reflecting childhood nostalgia and the complexities of navigating grief.
In a director’s statement that reads like a heartfelt confession, Worley described ‘Sketch’ as a mash-up of ‘Inside Out’ and ‘Jurassic Park,’ tackling the darker corners of childhood emotions and the aftermath of trauma. His ambition is to create a film that resonates with audiences on a deeply personal level, encouraging viewers to see themselves within its colorful chaos. The film’s vibrant visuals and imaginative plot promise to offer a refreshing escape from the mundane—perfect for family outings or even solo adventures.
As CinemaCon unfolds this year in Las Vegas, it’s evident that ‘Sketch’ is poised to be one of the standout films to watch. So, mark your calendars, grab your popcorn, and prepare for a magical journey that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilariously bizarre.
Class dismissed. May your viewing experiences be as enchanting as this upcoming cinematic delight.
