SHOTGUN BOOGIE is an original documentary series about an outsider’s exploration into the contemporary social, cultural and musical landscape of New Orleans, and how the city has changed over the past decade.
At the helm of the documentary is an Italian sound engineer, Michele Boreggi, who is hellbent on completing the series before his looming departure back to Rome.
Enlisting the help of filmmaker friends, also newcomers to the city, Michele meets with local musicians in their homes for intimate acoustic performances and frank discussions addressing contemporary social issues while also specifically addressing the clash between preservation and
development in New Orleans.
Through the voices of a diverse, cross-generational range of local musicians, SHOTGUN BOOGIE attempts to uplifts testimonies and reflections on the true condition of the beloved Crescent City.
Ultimately, SHOTGUN BOOGIE is a grand experiment. An unparalleled city like New Orleans calls for an unparalleled documentary approach. The entire show perpetually unfolds while the cameras roll, displaying Michele’s experience as a first time director and creating an unconventional series
that is full of personality.
