He was directing a documentary about his AIDS treatment group at the time of his death, which was released as One Foot on a Banana Peel, the Other Foot in the Grave: Secrets from the Dolly Madison Room. He was a friend of The Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme and his illness and treatment for AIDS were a major influence on Demme's decision to make the film Philadelphia.[1]
