A FILM BY CRAIG HIGHBERGER

This vibrant documentary explores the life and legacy of Jackie Curtis, the iconic Warhol superstar whose fierce originality blurred the lines between gender, art, and performance. A poet, playwright, and downtown legend, Curtis helped shape the New York underground scene of the 1960s and ’70s. Featuring rare footage and interviews with friends, collaborators, and fellow icons—including Lily Tomlin, Paul Morrissey, and Holly Woodlawn—the film is both a loving tribute and a fascinating portrait of a boundary-breaking artist ahead of their time.
