July 5 New York City (Quad Cinemas)
July 19 Los Angeles (Laemmle Royal), Encino (Laemmle Town Center)
July 26 Long Island (Cinema Arts Centre)
Jeff Lipsky’s Goldilocks and the Two Bears will debut and start its theatrical run where the majority of the film was shot: in Las Vegas/Summerlin. The screening will be both a homecoming and kickoff to a planned multi-city run throughout the U.S. this summer.
SYNOPSIS:
Goldilocks and the Two Bears is the tale of two young people, hitchhiking and homeless travelers who’ve all but given up on futures that might have been glorious, who are discovered by another young woman on the run from her own demons, at an empty condo she is moving into. An unexpected relationship develops between the trio that brings with it both the promise of a fresh new start for each of them. However, the harrowing possibility of something darker looms.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
When I moved from New York City to Las Vegas in late 2018 I couldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life here, nor could I have imagined making a film here (even though I’d filmed two days of my first film, Childhood’s End, at the legendary Stardust Casino/Resort). The decision to relocate was purely financial. But then a funny thing happened. The Pandemic hit and the casinos closed (for the first time in history). I suddenly discovered and embraced the natural splendors of the city and the state of Nevada, and I became inspired. The isolation of living under the specter of COVID and within the quiet solemnity of my tranquil suburb made me wonder about who else might come to Las Vegas, and why. I conjured up the names Ian, Ivy, and Ingrid in a coup de foudre. Their backstories were as similar as they are disparate, and it all came to me in a flash. The movie’s title was a natural: this city is something out of a fairy tale, awash in dreams and nightmares, happy endings and aspirations, sometimes dashed in the twinkle of an eye. I’d seldom before been so juiced about finishing a script and getting a movie made as I was while living in the desert.
Against all odds I managed to amass an extraordinarily dedicated and talented local crew (save for two New Yorkers and two Californians), people who’d lived here their entire lives. Who knew? So it was that in late 2022 we all masked-up and determined to collaborate on what I believe could be my best film to date.
