Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Title references Sylvia Plath's 'Lady Lazarus'—the full line is about owning her body 'like a Nazi lampshade,' which adds a whole layer of commodified female suffering to the sexual economy Banzhaf depicts.
Banzhaf shot this between seasons of her acting work on 'Letterkenny,' using the short to process the cognitive dissonance of performing femininity in male-dominated spaces.
