The movie titled “The Big Johnson” is scheduled to make its debut at the Slamdance Film Festival on February 21, 2025. This film will be shown again on the same day during the festival. At this point, details regarding its wider release are yet to be disclosed.

The movie is helmed by Lola Rocknrolla, who was a good friend and fellow musician of Johnson’s around the year 2000, and showcases performances from Dean Johnson, Dean Beat (also known as Jackie Beat), Sherry Vine, Lady Bunny, Taylor Mac, Mario Diaz, Kevin Aviance, Heather Littleer, and Beth Johnson.

The film doesn’t provide definitive answers, but what is certain is that Dean and his extraordinary life forever altered New York City and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
