Fantastic Fest 2024: Ben Hanson, Toby Jones and AJ Thompson On Light-Hearted Comedy AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK

Synopsis: An absurd and surreal comedy about an ordinary man named AJ, who enjoys a simple life in the midwestern haven of Fargo, North Dakota. When his favorite dog park is taken away, it begins a chain reaction that completely upends his existence and sends him on an unforgettable odyssey to fight, fish, scrap, scrape and sap things back into place.

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”).
