To Millennials, Bob Ross is almost a viral sensation even before the Internet really caught on (if you can even imagine a time). The offbeat, yet gentle paint instructor got so much airtime via ads and has seeped into the consciousness of that entire generation.

So, it only stands to reason that there should be a comedy about such a figure that is so commonplace to the psyche of people in their thirties right now and that’s exactly what writer/director Brit McAdams, a fro’d-up-very-Bob-Ross-like Owen Wilson, and IFC Films have done with Paint. Well, it’s part Bob Ross, part Election (or maybe Talented Mr. Ripley?), which we’re very much on board for.

Take a peek at what’s to come with Paint with the first official teaser here.
