ABOUT THE FILM
Winner of the MSPIFF43 Audience Award and directed by Minneapolis filmmakers and musicians Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson, Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted follows the eccentric and legendary musician Swamp Dogg, who has been described as "one of the great cult figures of 20th century American music" and "the soul genius time forgot." He is a genuine eccentric responsible for some of the most unique rock-influenced R&B (and wildest album covers) ever made. Hidden away deep in suburban Los Angeles, Swamp Dogg, alongside housemates Moogstar and Guitar Shorty, has transformed his home into an artistic playground. Together, they navigate the tumultuous waves of the music industry, and forge a wonderfully bizarre and inspiring path across time and space. Amazing access to Swamp Dogg, along with incredible archival material, creates a fun, hilarious and unconventional film for a perfectly unconventional life.
