The Trouble With Mr. Doodle
Sam Cox was born to draw. From the moment he could hold a pen he started scribbling and never stopped: all day every day and all night too. As his obsession grew, the unstoppable stream of doodles flowing from his fingertips and out into the world beyond threatened to take over his life, his home and his mind. 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, The Trouble With Mr Doodle is the story of an extraordinary boy born into an ordinary family and a cautionary tale about how sometimes we really do need to be careful what we wish for.
