Documentary’s on it’s way

So, here we go! We are swedish filmmaker Mikael Andersson and Johanna Mörtberg, journalist, based in Västervik and Stockholm. We are going to make a tv-documentary about swedish Springsteenfans. Filming starts next week here in Stockholm when we get our stuff together for the first interviews with the fans.

The documentary is made for broadcasting on swedish national television and it will be centered around Bruce Springsteens concerts in Sweden, from 1975 until today. We’re going to interview different generations of fans and talk about what the music has meant to them, their feelings during the shows and their personal meetings with Bruce Springsteen. We will also interview a few swedish musicjournalists about their view of the concerts.

With our documentary we would like to capture why the swedish audience have taken Bruce Springsteen’s music so deeply to their hearts. We’re also going to travel to Asbury Park, NJ, to shoot some exteriors for the documentary.

We hope to finish our project at the end of 2004, and we’re going to post our progress here.
