SWAMP DOGG GETS HIS POOL PAINTED

Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson’s Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted stars three aging musicians living the good life in a San Fernando Valley bachelor pad (with a rundown pool in need of painting). That such a premise could be the makings of one of the most gonzo docs of the year is a testament to the imagination and talent on either side of the lens. Indeed, the uber inventive film focuses on Jerry Williams – better known as the titular Swamp Dogg – a singer-songwriter-performer-producer-A&R man whose 65-year career has brought him “soul genius” status; as well as his multihyphenate roommates – fellow octogenarian Guitar Shorty, a blues guitarist-singer-songwriter who influenced Jimi Hendrix, and Moogstar, a younger hyper-creative savant with the ability to master any instrument he chooses.
