ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Paint star Stephen Root about the Bob Ross-inspired movie.

, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who 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 Carl loves,” reads the movie’s synopsis.

Yeah, very much so. It’s an ensemble piece all the way through the movie, but as you say, each character has a backstory.

Well, it’s great. I’ve worked with a few first-time directors on some big movies and on some small ones. What’s nice about working with Brit is that he, as the director, was also the writer. So you always had a writer on set the whole time you were there. We reworked scenes and had different dialogue on the day when we decided to shoot. So you have the writer right there in the room to help you achieve what you wanted to do in that scene. And that was a huge deal.
