Professional painters are seen as rough laborers, rather than craftsmen. In this film, we play off those blue collar clichés to celebrate the reality of painters’ passion. This is a character study about a painter who cares so much about making homeowners happy, that even though he’s a prickly guy who doesn’t show his emotions, he tolerates (or maybe even appreciates?) a hug.

Professional painters are often seen as laborers, and not as craftsmen who work in an emotional business. But our homes are personal spaces, and painting is surprisingly emotional. Thankfully, you can be a tough looking painter and still have a big heart.
