Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s ‘All of a Sudden’ Confronts Life, Death and the Failures of Capitalism — and Changed Its Stars’ Lives

Tao Okamoto and Virginie Efira tell all about their epic two-hander, which weaves between Japanese and French language and, yes, runs well over three hours: “It's always best to see a good film that's three hours long, rather than a bad film that’s an hour and 20 minutes.”

Urbanglass has a lil' fundraiser party coming up next Tuesday. I am making some battery powered neon wands for their photo booth... or just for walking around the party and luminously enchanting things :)

Yesterday I picked up the glass and started at about 1:30 with what I thought was the most difficult parts, (Sun and rainbow), but I actually cruised through both of them and bent both of them in about 2 hours.
Then I proceeded to spend the next two hours messing up the G and U and using pretty much the rest of the expensive 8mm ruby argon. -whoops

Since I am not allowed to pump tubes at Urbanglass, I took them on the train to my own studio, where I could pump them and dip them in my giant paint tank- connections painted out in seconds :)

Really excited for these- I made a star wand years ago, but now my skills and ideas have improved.
