Following its theatrical run in October, acclaimed documentary, Studio One Forever, will be available to buy and rent on digital platforms from 6 January 2025.
From 1974 to 1994, Studio One and its adjoining live music venue, The Backlot, became symbols of hope and community for gay men during tumultuous times.
Amidst the rise of gay rights, disco’s heyday, and the devastating AIDS crisis, the club offered sanctuary from rampant homophobia and police oppression. Twenty-six years later, West Hollywood faces the demolition of this iconic building, sending the community into uproar to preserve its history.
Featuring appearances from Chita Rivera, Bruce Vilanch, Melissa Rivers, Lance Bass, and many more, the documentary delves into Studio One’s story against the backdrop of a progressing gay liberation clashing with ‘80s conservatism and the escalating AIDS nightmare.
“Studio One Forever isn’t just a story about a nightclub, it’s a story about the people who called it home” Trans-Scribe
