Ogie Diaz reminds Liza Soberano she was shooting two projects when ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye’ was offered
The movie tells the story of a Chinese American couple that runs a laundromat, is in trouble with the tax authorities and struggles to relate to their depressed lesbian daughter. Some of the costume ideas were set in the film’s storyboarding, like the bejeweled Elvis-style white pantsuit worn by the evil Jobu Tupaki when she turns policemen into confetti, Kurata explains.“We just sort of brainstormed like, okay, why don’t we have like a golf look for her or like a K-Pop look and we just sort of worked together,” she said.
Especially popular were Jobu’s K-Pop look featuring a Jeremy Scott teddy bear sweater, goddess Jobu in an intricately beaded white dress with a Victorian collar, and Chaos Jobu—featuring a bit of each costume.“I was like, okay, thank God, I succeeded.”Kurata describes herself as part of Generation X, without offering a specific age.
Kurata, who will start work on her next project in May, says she prefers to work on films directed by women and people of color, as they offer a “unique, diverse story about the world.”
