Biography

Miranda July (born February 1, 1974) is a , musician, writer, and film director. She currently resides in Los Angeles, California, after having lived for many years in Portland, Oregon. Born Miranda Jennifer Grossinger, she works under the surname of “July” because she says it is the month that most facilitates her creativity.

She was born in Barre, Vermont (Timothy Leary was her godfather), grew up in Berkeley, California, and later attended UC Santa Cruz. After leaving college, she moved to Portland and took up performance art. Her performances were successful, as she has been quoted as saying she has not worked a day job since she was 23 years old.[1]

Filmmaker Magazine rated her number one in their “25 New Faces of Indie Film” in 2004. After winning a slot in a workshop, she developed her first feature-length film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, which opened in 2005. The film won The Caméra d’Or in The Cannes Festival 2005.[2]

She recorded her first EP of for Kill Rock Stars in 1996, entitled Margie Ruskie Stops Time, with music by The Need. After that, she released two more full-length LPs, both distributed by Kill Rock Stars, and an additional EP with IQU in 1999 on K Records.

Her short story “The Boy from Lam Kien” was published in 2005 as a special-edition book with illustration by Elinor Nissley and Emma Hedditch

Later comes her collection of short stories “No one belongs here more than you” in 2007 while she is doing her on stage performance worldwildly.

    this stuff is really good. Very unique and original. It will take a few years for more people to get into this kind of music.

    Wasn't sure what to make of the future. I guess I should listen to more of her pieces before making up my mind about it.

    I'm even more in love with her after listening to the Binet-Simon Test. I mean I thought getting my future from her, "Me and You and Everyone We Know," "Learning to Love You More," and "No One Belongs Here More than You" brought on as much Miranda July love as I could handle but I was wrong. Now, I can't wait to go see "The Future."

    I found The Binnet-Simon Test at a college radio station once and immediately burned a copy. It's still just as amazing as it was then. WSNO is my favourite because I read trans subtext into it.
