Angel Studios' 'Sketch' Set for August 6, 2025 Release, Promoted with Unique Sand Artistry

PROVO, UT – Angel Studios, known for its audience-driven distribution model, is gearing up for the theatrical release of its new fantasy-comedy film, "Sketch," on August 6, 2025. The studio is engaging audiences with creative promotional content, including a sand sculpture featuring characters from the movie, as highlighted in a recent tweet.

The film, directed by Seth Worley, centers on a young girl whose sketchbook falls into a magical pond, bringing her drawings to life. These unpredictable and chaotic creations, including "Dave and some eyeders," then terrorize their small town, prompting the girl and her brother to track them down while their father navigates the unfolding disaster. The movie stars Tony Hale and D'Arcy Carden.

"Anything can spark an imaginative creation! Watch as @fallinginsand sculpts Dave and some eyeders in sand! 🙌 See #TheSketchMovie only in theaters August 6th! 🍿 @AngelStudiosInc," stated the official SKETCH Twitter account, promoting the unique collaboration.

The sand artistry is created by Jianpeng Sun, known professionally as "fallinginsand" through his company, FallingInSand Crafts. Sun is recognized for his intricate 2D and 3D sand art, often presented in viral time-lapse videos on social media platforms. His involvement adds a distinctive visual element to the movie's marketing campaign, directly reflecting the film's premise of art coming to life.

Angel Studios operates with a unique "Pay It Forward" model, allowing viewers to purchase tickets for others to see films for free, and also utilizes equity crowdfunding to finance its productions. This model was notably successful with the film "Sound of Freedom," which garnered significant box office attention. The studio aims to "amplify light" through its values-based entertainment.

"Sketch" premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, receiving positive reviews for its blend of fantasy, comedy, and themes of grief and emotional processing. Director Seth Worley described the film as a cross between "Jurassic Park" and "Inside Out," emphasizing its emotional depth alongside its creature-feature elements. The film promises a unique family adventure that explores the darker aspects of childhood emotions and trauma through imaginative visual effects.
