Tracks gay club denver
ABOUT | Based on a true story, Making Tracks is an unabashedly sincere, entertaining, feel-good tale about learning to love yourself, maintaining hope, and exploring the 80s era for LGBTQ+ characters. Today, equality for the LGBTQ+ group remains relevant as the film boldly addresses a history that continues to be underrepresented in the media.
Shawna’s (Director) vision is to tell a story that effortlessly blends humor, nostalgia, and drama, immersing audiences in the characters’ lives. Through their eyes, these issues go from the rational, reasonable, and intellectual space to the visceral, gut, and emotional levels. Tracks became iconic because it transcended beyond being just a club, evolving into a place where the Gay community felt secure to let their light shine, inspiring others seeking to live their truth.
In the words of the founder of Tracks, Marty Chernoff, the unlikely ally to Denver’s same-sex attracted community, “You’ve got to let people live their retain lives as they want to dwell them, and…and I will fight for that right.”
The role of allyship in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights resonates with many, fueling this intriguing story waiting to b

The story of beloved Denver LGBTQ bar Tracks is about $2 million away from being made into a movie.
One of Denver’s oldest and most well-known LGBTQ nightclubs, Tracks originally opened in the 1980s in what is now the Union Station neighborhood (but what was then a warehouse district lined with railroad tracks and known as the Bottoms because of its proximity to the South Platte River). It later moved to the River North Art District, where it now hosts theme nights and dancing.
But in addition to being a trendy nightclub, Tracks also once served as a place of refuge — even a home — for members of the LGBTQ community who had nowhere else to go.
That broader significance is something Denver-based filmmaker and Colorado native Shawna Schultz realized while conducting interviews for a memorial video that her production company had been asked to do about Tracks co-founder Marty Chernoff, who died in 2019.
“I started interviewing people and I just kept interviewing people and kept interviewing people,” she said. “And I feel like every one of these stories brought me deeper into what was — what I feel is — an amazing story to be told.”
