In the 2015 drama film, 'Brutal Colors,' we follow the story of Cleo, portrayed by Britt Bowman, a talented painter who is struggling to make a name for herself in the art world. Cleo has a unique style that mainly focuses on bright colors, which sets her apart from the rest. Despite the fact that her work is well received amongst her peers and potential clients, she finds herself constantly fighting for recognition in a saturated industry that tends to favor more conventional styles.

One day, Cleo's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Tim, portrayed by Fred Campbell, a wealthy businessman who falls in love with her work and offers to buy one of her paintings. Cleo is reluctant at first but ultimately decides to sell the painting to Tim, who she soon realizes is not only interested in her work but also in her. They begin an unlikely romance, which leads Cleo to question her principles and artistic integrity.

Meanwhile, we are introduced to a group of struggling artists who share Cleo's passion for painting but are facing even worse odds. Among them is Jimmy, portrayed by Michael Anthony Coppola, a talented painter who is barely making ends meet and is desperate to get his work noticed. Jimmy and Cleo become friends, and she tries to help him get his big break by connecting him with the right people. However, as they spend more time together, Cleo starts to feel threatened by Jimmy's talent and begins to question her own abilities.

Throughout the film, we see Cleo trying to navigate through the various obstacles that come with being a painter in a competitive industry. Her relationship with Tim becomes more complicated as he tries to manipulate her into creating more conventional pieces that he can sell to his wealthy friends. She also makes enemies with some of her peers, who see her as a threat to their own success.

It highlights the challenges that artists face in trying to stay true to their vision while also trying to make a living. The performances by the cast are all impressive, especially Britt Bowman, who does an excellent job portraying Cleo's inner struggles and conflicts.
