2023 · 96 min

A gentle, quirky comedy that drifts into melancholy as it studies a fading local celebrity with warmth and quiet satire.

Tagline: Go to a special place.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, warm and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, ambition, love, isolation
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
