I Do (2006)

Starting with an 80s tape of friends battering inside a bar, this short film mainly followed the 38-year history of the Pigz Brotherz, told by Danny Squires, the main pig and squeeze. This indie documentary was directed, produced, filmed, and edited by Scott Simerly Jr.

Hog Heaven: The Pigz Brotherz Story isn’t only about a band; how the group came together was intertwined with the history of the legendary spot in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina—the Berkeley Cafe. A compilation of reports from the news outlets showed Berkeley Cafe, having stood at its original location for 43 years, was forced to move due to the upcoming development to build a condo tower at. As one of the oldest music venues in Raleigh, it closed the Nash Square space in 2023 and moved to a new spot in 2024. Berkeley Cafe is also an important avenue for live music and a staple for the local music scene. That’s where the story of the Pigz Brotherz began.
