STUDIO ONE was more than just one of the first gay discos in America; it was a mecca for gay men looking for identity in a world that saw them as outcasts. Connected to the disco was The Backlot supper club, which merged the gay community with the Hollywood elite for the first time. From 1974-1993 it became the center of nightlife in West Hollywood and the staging ground for the rise of the LGBT rights movement and the fight against the AIDS crisis.
Check out the trailer above! Where can we watch this? Does it have distribution yet?
Are they ever going to release this on streaming or DVD?
I have three distinct memories of Studio One. Meeting Joan Rivers in the office. She was all business but a joke interjected a couple times.

Playing Santa’s elf for Christmas. Heard “best red head 6′ elf I’ve ever seen” with lots of hands on me.
Glorious times!
*I did not know anyone, I was working for Santa, who was friends with the owner
