Actress Analeigh Tipton really seems to be moving her way up in the acting world. While you may not recognize her name, she's likely a face you've seen before in supporting roles. Between movies like LUCY and WARM BODIES, she's slowly making her way up the Hollywood ranks. Now, it looks like she's starring in the upcoming film, SADIE. 

Another highlight is Patch Town, a Disney-esque live-action film about a doll’s search for his mother, which gained momentum at the Palm Springs International Shortfest. Inspired by Russian fables of babies hatched in cabbage patches, first-time Canadian director Craig Goodwill employs musical numbers to broach deeper topics of love and abandonment.

Pivoting off a traditional Russian fable, this deranged bedtime story forms the basis of Patch Town. The jumping-off point invites camp, and writer-director Craig Goodwill hasn’t compromised one grain of kooky-creepy personality while extending his 2011 short to feature length. He treats the added runtime like a bigger playpen, providing him with more space to stack the post-industrial blocks that make up his richly realized dystopia.

Craig Goodwill, from a short, suggests a discount version of the kind of topsy-turvy dystopia associated with Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam or, circa “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” Robert Zemeckis.
