Select Press Quotes

Affectionate look back at LA's legendary gay club.

-The Guardian


"A very important piece of Los Angeles history."

-Wade Major, NPR Film Week with Larry Mantle


"Crucial... uncovers one of the first queer spots in Los Angeles that was loud and flashy instead of quiet and hidden."

-Film Threat


"Studio One Forever shows what freedom really looks like and why it can’t be allowed to be taken away again."

-Film Threat


A shimmering time capsule to this crucial piece of LGBTQ+ history.

-Queerty, Cameron Scheetz


"Studio One Forever is more than heady nostalgia but an entreaty to hold on to a history that changed LGBTQ+ life forever."

-The Reviews Hub - Richard Maguire


"Not just a documentary, but a document itself, one that preserves these memories."

Medium- Eric Langburg


"More than just a film, it is an indispensable resource...."

-Overly Honest Reviews by Chris Jones


"An emotionally overpowering documentary."

-The Queer Review


Its rich history is far beyond celebrity name-dropping, revealing the club's darker, racist moments.

-Chicago Reader


An important document of an era when queer culture was bursting – through the phenomenon of disco – into the mainstream.

-Los Angeles Blade


Another important addition to the ever-growing gay canon of vital stories about our community.

-Edge Media Network
