Miranda July is a writer who also makes movies, performances, recordings and combinations of these things. July was awarded the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for her first feature which she wrote and directed, Me and You and Everyone We Know, which premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Her short film "Nest of Tens" was shown in the 2002 Whitney Biennial for which July was also commissioned to produce a sound installation, "The Drifters." July was also invited to the 2004 Whitney Biennial with her participatory website, learningtoloveyoumore.com, created in collaboration with artist Harrell Fletcher. July's stories can be read in the Paris Review, the Harvard Review and Black Clock. Her radio performances can be heard regularly on NPR's The Next Big Thing.

It’s not nice to be jealous. But if I could write a story on the top of my refrigerator as well as Miranda July, I maybe would be one of the happiest people in the world. I’m pretty sure I would be.
