Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted is a 2024 American documentary film[3] directed by Isaac Gale, Ryan Olson and David McMurry. The film profiles Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams, a musician who has been an influential cult figure in American music despite never achieving mainstream fame, who lives with his friends and colleagues Larry "Moogstar" Clemons and David "Guitar Shorty" Kearney in a modest home in the San Fernando Valley which the three men have maintained as an artistic haven.[4]

Guitar Shorty died during the film's production, with the aftermath of his death forming part of the film's storyline.[4]

The film premiered on March 8, 2024, at the SXSW festival, and was given a theatrical release in the United States on May 2, 2025, by Magnolia Pictures.[4][5]
