A beacon of dancing and freedom for gay men looking for identity in a world that saw them as outcasts, Studio One was a haven and the blossoming center of nightlife in West Hollywood. From merging the gay community and Hollywood elites like Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart to being at the forefront of the LBGTQ+ rights movement and the fight against the AIDS crisis, the venue was more than just a disco, it was a movement.
STUDIO ONE FOREVER, the untold story of America's iconic gay disco, world premiered at Outfest Los Angeles in July 2023 and was selected by over twenty festivals to date, garnering several audience choice awards. It was an Austin Film Festival jury award nominee for best documentary and won Best of Fest at the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
