TALK S1 EP2 WITH MIYAKO BELLIZZI
Welcome to TALK’s second episode with guest Miyako Bellizzi.
Dana and Miyako Bellizzi discuss how Bellizzi jumped on an Indie film project that essentially changed her whole life, and career trajectory. They also discuss her process when starting new projects, working with the Safdie brothers, her experience working on an upcoming HBO mini-series, as well as the March 2021 cover of New York Magazine. Bellizzi is best known for her Costume Design work on Uncut Gems (2019) and Good Time (2017).
More About Miyako Bellizzi.
Bellizzi moved from the Bay area to New York in 2007 to pursue a career in fashion. She attended FIT and snagged all the internships she could get at Details Magazine, New York Times, T Mag, and then went on to freelance styling.
A spontaneous meeting with an indie film Director looking for a Costume Designer turned into one of the most important decisions of Bellizi’s career. Never having really considered film as a possible career move, she decided to explore this new opportunity and came to a realization: how much she loved narrative storytelling -- in which working in fashion seemed to fall flat. She was hooked and from that point on she became completely immersed in working in film.
Since deciding to pursue more Costume Design gigs her career has naturally snowballed and Bellizzi has found herself in excellent company. She’s worked with Josh and Benjamin Safdie on Good Time and Uncut Gems and has unexpectedly found herself working on an HBO mini-series, “Scenes from a Marriage.”
We can’t wait to see what she does next.
Why TALK loves Miyako -- We love her work ethic! As Miyako says herself, she worked in the service industry for a decade while she pursued her passion for Costume Design in film, often not making very much money from this passion. She has most certainly paid her dues. She actively goes after the projects that make her feel uncomfortable so that she can expand on her knowledge. And we really LOVE how open she is with her process as well as how she’s continuously learning.
