Toby Jones on AJ Goes to the Dog Park, Touring the Midwest, and the Joys of Filming in Fargo

Hello, and welcome to Films for the Void, bonus episode #30! I am your host, Landon Defever, and my guest today is a writer, director, and storyboard artist whose past credits include  Regular Show, Sanjay and Craig, OK KO, The Mighty Ones, and Jellystone. However, he’s making his feature length directorial debut with the new film AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK! For those unaware, AJ Goes to the Dog Park is about a man named AJ, played by actor AJ Thompson, who loses his favorite dog park and how he must fight, fish, scrap, scrape, and sap to get it back. AJ Goes to the Dog Park opens in limited release on Friday, July 25. However, if you’re lucky enough to live in Columbus, Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, or Chicago, you can see the film on its Midwest Road Trip tour, featuring the writer/director himself, as well as AJ, in person. However, he’s taking a break from his road trip today to give us a little more insight!
