Tentative plans to shoot a Garden District scene from a movie about Buddy Bolden have been released. The film is an adaptation of the legend of Charles “Buddy” Bolden, known as King Bolden. His band was a top draw in New Orleans from about 1900 until 1907, until he was incapacitated by schizophrenia.
Our story is told from Buddy’s institution where he hears the distant music from his past that ignites the memory of his experiences in New Orleans in 1906 and his decline into schizophrenia.
We are currently planning on filming in New Orleans late January 2015. One of our locations is in the Garden District just out side Lafayette Cemetery. Below is our tentative schedule:
LOCATION: EXT. LAFAYETTE CEMETERY SIDEWALK /WHITE WALL:
6th Street Between Coliseum Street and Prytania Street
Parking schematics are being planned in the area and will be released as soon as finalized.
FILMING SCHEDULE: MONDAY JANUARY 26, 1014 approximately 7AM to 7PM (day only) Rain Date Wednesday January 28th 2014
SCENE: NOLA – DAY -1889: Young Buddy Bolden runs down sidewalk along the white wall.
