Film Description:
“Sandie Crisp, a transgender actress and model, served as a muse to generations of artists, gay punks, and the West Hollywood avant-garde.” THE NEW YORK TIMES
Goddess Bunny Superstar is a raw, powerful, up-lifting movie that was filmed for over 30 years by Matthew Patrick, Academy Award Nominated director for movie “Graffiti.”
“Contracting polio limited her mobility, and medical interventions worsened her condition. Her aesthetic, which blended the Hollywood noir of David Lynch with the punk offensiveness of GG Allin and Lydia Lunch, knew few boundaries.” THE NEW YORK TIMES
It’s a heartwarming love story, for despite immense hardships, Sandie embodied optimism and kindness, Her crude, yet charming, spirit always attracted friends who loved and surrounded her.
Sandie left an indelible mark on the LA Underground art scene, through performances, films, rock videos, photo shoots, and fashion. She starred in Marilyn Manson’s Dope Show video and performed on stage at the VMA awards.
There is always a strong visceral reaction when you first see Sandie. Our reptilian brains make a lightening fast judgement. Then our emotions and thoughts wash in. Sandie is a kind of mirror. You can’t help but compare yourself to her.
She’s a lovely soul, who’s upbeat and fun. Sandie carries herself happily without bitterness or shame. You have never ever met anyone quite like her, guaranteed.
Whenever I’d visit Sandie, it was a big reality check. My problems suddenly became small next to hers and she reminded me to have gratitude.
This film was shot in a cinema verite style, in search of the most poignant and truthful moments, regardless of camera technique.
Giovanni Baima, aka Sandie Crisp, aka Goddess Bunny, was born intersex.
