I am SO sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'm still without a LT and still roaming around London exploring like a little tourist ( though I grew up only 40 minutes away from the city)
Thought I would share this short film directed by American actress and fashion designer Tara Subkoff. This seven minute short film 'Magic Hour' revolves around Grey (Played by Chloe Sevigny, wait it gets better..) who has moved to LA but reminisces over her long distance love for home, New York. Everything about the short film is on point. It's slightly 'Coppolaesque' Virgin Suicide lighting and the peachy rooms only enhance Greys hatred for Los Angeles sunshine in contrast to the NY smog which she longs for. The way Grey also describes LA society as 'The worlds largest waiting room', people just waiting for things to happen is significant. Having been to LA twice and fallen in love, there is an obvious cloud of aspiration that floods the city but to me, living in London- there is in every city. The film was presented by global contemporary art channel MOCAtv to celebrate the opening of the 2013 Urs Fischer exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Big love for Chloe Sevigny too, her character in 'Kids' will always be such a footprint for an early generation of youthful 90's teenagers, growing on careless, adolescent journeys.
Watch Magic Hour above and see what you think.
