  • LESFF wraps it’s 15th year with NY Premiere of The Big Johnson, director Lola Rocknrolla’s electrifying documentary about NYC legend Dean Johnson—drag queen, rock star, LGBTQI activist, junkie, genius, escort then…John Doe. This glam-punk, rock-doc explores the incredible highs and the crushing lows of Dean Johnson’s life and untimely death. Was it an accident, or something more sinister? What is for sure is that Dean and “the Big Johnson” changed New York City and everyone who knew him forever.
