Award-winning actress and filmmaker Chloë Sevigny returns to the director’s chair bringing her own instinctual depth and glamor to the short film Lypsinka: Toxic Femininity, a singular work centering around downtown legend Lypsinka , the surrealist and iconic stage creation of John Epperson. Produced by The New Group Off Stage, Lypsinka: Toxic Femininity is a short film about Lypsinka ’s existential crisis as an artist. Inhabiting the words of Hollywood icons from Judy Garland to Joan Crawford trapped in an airless world of old-fashioned TV glamor, Lypsinka guides us through her fever dream as she grapples with her psyche as a celebrity.
