Miranda July
Multi-disciplinary artist Miranda July has started a blog for her travels as she
promotes her new movie Me and You and Everyone We Know. She's currently in New York and
will be coming to the Bay Area next week to present it at the San Francisco International Film
Festival. It will be screened
at the Kabuki in SF on Sun 1 May 9pm and at the PFA in Berkeley on Tue 3
May at 7pm.
Her work is varied
and intensely provocative. Much is available online; including these
snippets on The Next Big
Thing radio show:
If you are into alternative music/audio, browse through her
recordings on the Kill Rock Stars label. My favorite is the spunky
Ten
Million Hours a Mile.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said, "In that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola."
