EXCLUSIVE: Celebrating his 50th year as an indie filmmaker and distributor, Jeff Lipsky is prepping the release of his eighth feature as director. Goldilocks and the Two Bears is due to open domestically via Glass Half Full Media in July for a limited theatrical run, followed by a general release in late summer/early fall. Check out an exclusive clip above.
Goldilocks introduces a trio of new actors: Claire Milligan, Serra Naiman and Bryan Mittelstadt. It’s directed and written by Lipsky, produced by longtime collaborator Nick Athas and shot by Zak Ray with production sound mixed by Caleb Mose (O.J.: Made in America).
Filmed entirely in Las Vegas, the movie centers on a man and a woman – travelers who’ve all but given up on futures that might have been glorious. When a stranger enters their midst, a woman on the run from her own demons, the harrowing possibility of a new start for each of them beckons.
Lipsky’s previous films include the Sundance hit Flannel Pajamas, starring Julianne Nicholson and Justin Kirk; Twelve Thirty, starring Jonathan Groff; Once More with Feeling, starring Chazz Palminteri and Drea de Matteo; and 2019’s critically acclaimed The Last.
He’s currently working on a “warts-and-all memoir,” From Hair to Eternity, and prepping his next film, Adelyn, a road movie he plans to shoot in 2025.
Lipsky’s career was mentored by John Cassavetes for whom he distributed A Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night. Lipsky also co-founded October Films, Lot 47 Films and Adopt Films, releasing such iconic titles as My Dinner with Andre, My Life as a Dog, Stranger Than Paradise, Sid & Nancy, L.I.E., Barbara, Sister and Mike Leigh’s High Hopes and Life is Sweet.
