GEMMEL & TIM

GEMMEL & TIM

Directed by Michiel Thomas

2021 | USA | 91 minutes | 14+

In 2017 and 2019 respectively Gemmel “Juelz” Moore and Timothy “Tim” Dean died of a meth overdose at the now-infamous Laurel Street apartment of Ed Buck, a once influential Democratic donor, businessman, and activist. The deaths sent shockwaves through LA’s LGBTQ+ community; particularly within the gay mecca of West Hollywood.

The ensuing media circus cooked up a spicy concoction of sex, drugs, race, and politics, but had no appetite for the in-depth life stories of Gemmel and Tim, until now. This is a must-see film that’s been described as “One of the best documentaries of the year!” (Joey Moser, Awards Daily).
