What's Bob Ross got to do with it?

When you read that title, do you kind of sing it with your best Tina Turner impression?  Maybe it’s just me. 
But did you ever watch “The Joy of Painting” with Bob Ross?  First-time viewers were often amazed that he could finish an oil painting in 30 minutes.  But the truth is, he finished those paintings in 20 years and 30 minutes.  He spent many years painting and learning before he was a television icon.  So when people are shocked that I’m trying to complete a feature length film in just 48 hours of production, I think “Well, really 20 years and 48 hours”.  Of course, I’m no Bob Ross, so there’s that. 

Off to a blank sheet of paper now, at some point we have to have a script for this thing and this is day one of 48.
