A scripted, narrative feature film.

​

From a pulpit perched above the dancefloor in the Paradise Garage, Larry Levan reinvented what it means to be a DJ and redefined the musical genre. This is the true story of how everything came together despite all odds in the late 1970’s in New York City to construct a cherished space that served as a sanctuary to its members. The film portrays the complicated relationship between Paradise Garage owner Michael Brody and Larry Levan. It covers Larry’s brilliant but short-lived career including his remixing and producing work in the studio, and stretches into the 80’s as AIDS began to tragically decimate the community, ultimately leading to the closing of the club. The film is a celebration of the music, the artists who performed there and the legacy Larry and Michael created that still lives on to this day.
