Tim Miller’s 1001 Beds is a raucous and rowdy exploration of Miller’s adventures in a performer’s life fiercely lived in his travels through love, politics, and art. From a gay teen’s head-on collision with life in a sleazy hotel across the street from the Hollywood Bowl to an ecstatic vision of a sex-positive future on a mattress in a police holding cell, Miller’s 1001 Beds is a fiercely funny, sexy and inspiring story about the transforming power of art and the richness of gay identity lived out loud.
