From the makers of Academy Award-nominated documentaries Exit Through The Gift Shop and Black Sheep, and the Producer of Academy Award-winning documentaries Man on Wire and Searching for Sugar Man, this intimate documentary unveils the world of Sam Cox, better known as Mr. Doodle. His compulsive doodling turned him into a global sensation, with social media videos amassing millions of views and revealing the intricate complexity between creativity and chaos. As he navigates the challenges and joys his art brings, Cox and his family learn to embrace his unique perspective and the unexpected beauty it brings to their lives.
