Your work has to run everywhere. But to be honest, Uncut Gems really my only point of reference.
Greg Yuna: Uncut Gems is about a jeweler in the diamond district, but he’s also a chronic gambler. Not all jewelers do. It’s a guy with a chronic gambling addiction and has ventured into a bad world. But yes, we do a lot of running around — what you see there on that block [in the movie] is what we do.

Yes of course.
How are the GQ Big Fit of the Year Awards coming out? Do you have it now?
I don’t have it on hand, but I will. But this is what they look like in wax. [Holds up purple mold] That’s the front. It’s the back side.

It would be like a medal like they do in the Olympics with that ribbon.
