🎨 SKETCH (2025): When Imagination Runs Wild – Cast, Plot & Theatrical Release Info for This Creative Comedy

🎨 KETCH – When Imagination Gets Out of Hand

In Theaters August 6 From Angel Studios

What if your grief could draw monsters? This August, get ready for a whimsical yet thrilling family adventure with KETCH, a fantasy comedy that blends heartfelt emotion with pure, chaotic magic. Directed by Seth Worley and starring Tony Hale and D’Arcy Carden, the film invites audiences into a world where a child's imagination comes to life, whether you’re ready for it or not.

✏️ Plot: A Sketchbook, A Pond, and A Town in Peril

Amber Wyatt is a young girl still grappling with the loss of her mother. In her quiet moments, she fills her sketchbook with crayon drawings—beasts, feelings, dreams, and fears—trying to make sense of it all. But when that sketchbook accidentally slips into a mysterious pond hidden in the woods, the unimaginable happens.

Her creations—made of chalk dust, wax, and wonder—spring to life, unleashed onto the town in unpredictable and destructive ways. From gentle giants to mischievous chaos-makers, these creatures bring Amber’s grief into the real world… and it's not pretty.

Now, Amber and her older brother Jack must set out on an urgent mission to track down and capture the drawings before they cause irreversible damage. Meanwhile, their father, Taylor (played by the ever-brilliant Tony Hale), races through a town on the edge of collapse, trying to keep his family—and the community—together.
