When was the last time you thought about Fargo? Well, the official schedule for Fantastic Fest is now live, and festival-goers are eagerly highlighting the films they want to see. One standout is the world premiere of Toby Jones' zany new feature, "AJ Goes to The Dog Park." Described as a blend of "Portlandia" and "The Outer Limits," the film follows AJ, a regular guy on a quest to reclaim his dog park from an overzealous blogging mayor.
Toby Jones, a cartoonist and writer known for cult classics like "Regular Show," makes his debut feature with this film. "AJ Goes to The Dog Park" premieres on Monday, September 23rd. Check out the full details, including the hilarious trailer and screening info. Stay tuned for more on this quirky adventure!
Cartoonist and writer Toby Jones ("OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes", "Regular Show") takes his first steps as a live-action director with AJ Goes to the Dog Park. The gag-driven comedy will world premiere in Austin at Fantastic Fest, the largest genre film festival in the US, specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and action movies from all around the world.
Set in the Midwest haven of Fargo, North Dakota, AJ Goes to the Dog Park follows an ordinary man (AJ Thompson) as he tries to get his dog park back from a nefarious, blogging-obsessed Mayor.
AJ Goes to the Dog Park was written and directed by Toby Jones, best known for his work with Cartoon Network. Jones’s childhood friend, AJ Thompson stars in the cinematic gem as a mediocre man on an odyssey to protect the comforts of his routine life. The film, shot in Fargo with local talent in front and behind the camera, features a new original song by Rebecca Sugar ("Steven Universe", "Adventure Time") and a guest sequence directed by Owen Dennis ("Infinity Train").
As he prepares to share the film with the world, Jones said, "AJ Goes to the Dog Park was initially conceived with a seemingly modest ambition: bring more comedies into the world by any means necessary. For me, this meant returning to my hometown of Fargo, North Dakota and bringing together a cast and crew of friends and family to create the project totally independently."
