About Me

Miranda July is a filmmaker, performing artist and writer. She grew up in Berkeley, California where she began her career by writing plays and staging them at the local punk club.

Her short fiction has been published in The Paris Review, The Harvard Review, and Zoetrope All Story, and a collection of stories is forthcoming from Scribner in spring 2007. July created the participatory website learningtoloveyoumore.com with artist Harrell Fletcher and a companion book will be published by Prestel in fall 2007. She wrote, directed and starred in her first feature-length film, Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) , which won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. July currently lives in Los Angeles.And to be honest, Miranda is not a Myspace user. She doesn't know anything about adding friends, etc. But she gets that this is where you guys hang out and she'll check in with this page from time to time. And she'll keep me updated with breaking news. Terrific things will happen here.sincerely, Secretary for Miranda July
