A comedic yet poignant portrait of artistic ego and obsolescence, where a vain public television painter confronts his irrelevance when a younger rival emerges.

Carl Nargle, Vermont’s #1 public television painter, is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves.
