“We decided to support 'Tony' because it is not a conventional biography and does not attempt to summarize a life. We appreciate the portrayal of Tony's complexity, his intellectual zeal and his conviction, qualities that ultimately led him to travel the world and endeared him to so many. We hope that this film serves as a reminder that every journey has a beginning, and that audiences see the beginnings of the man who taught us to be better explorers on our own paths.”
The producers of the feature film are Trevor White, Tim White, and Matthew Miller. Executive producers are Amy Greene, Emily Rose, and Chris Stinson.
A24 will premiere Tony in theaters August 26.
