Filmmaker, artist and writer Miranda July’s career has been unusual, to say the least. She began writing plays and short stories as a teenager growing up in the Bay area, attended film school for a while, dropped out and moved to Oregon, where she began doing solo performance art pieces and making and distributing low-budget independent films aligned with the area’s punk-influenced “riot grrl” movement. She made her first feature film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, in 2004 when she was just 30. It won prizes at Cannes and Sundance, as well as other major film festivals. Since then she’s made two additional feature films and a batch of short films. She’s also acted in some of her own films.
She’s also published a short-story collection, a memoir and best-selling novel, with her second, titled All Fours, out this past spring. And she’s an artist whose sculpture was displayed at the 2009 Venice Biennale and whose diverse art-related projects have been displayed in major museums. And so other stuff as well
This eclectically talented artist will be speaking in town as part of the Writers Center Stage series at the Maltz Performing Arts Center. Get tickets here.
