Hear directly from the director on the vision, tone, and singular world he's building with SKETCH — a horror film unlike anything the genre has seen.
In a world where cartoons, known as Sketches, are created to cure loneliness, these companions exist to serve and are believed to be indestructible.
They're not supposed to die.
But when Sara's cartoon boyfriend is brutally murdered, that belief shatters — turning our childhood memories into nightmares.
As fear spreads, Sara is pulled into a surreal, disturbing investigation where what once made us laugh (cartoon anvils, dynamite, and toxic waste) is no longer harmless, but lethal.
Someone has found a way to kill what was never meant to die.
And this is only the beginning.
