WATCH THE TRAILER
ABOUT
In the late 1960s, jazz trumpeter Chet Baker (Ethan Hawke) begins a romance with an actress (Carmen Ejogo) while trying to stage a musical comeback.
'Born To Be Blue' was directed by Robert Budreau and shot at ORWO Studios in Louisiana, just 15 minutes from Baton Rouge airport, but in a serene and tranquil rural setting. Interesting fact, the audio for trumpet performances in the film was done by Kevin Turcotte. Hawke had taken trumpet lessons from Ben Promane and requested video of Turcotte recording, in order to mime the playing during the shoot.
