My friend Holly Wiersma, who later produced Dallas Buyers Club, produced a doc called Guest List Only—a character study of people on both sides of the velvet rope—starring club promoter Sarah Uphoff (everyone called her “Pantera Sarah”) and me along with other regulars at Opium Den, Dublin’s, and Vinyl—all my favorite LA hangouts. I remember Sarah running the door, selecting who was in and who was out.
