Guesses at the Upcoming Projects of Miranda July
Cookie
A novella is written on 30,00 individual grains of rice, each marked with one number and one word. These are then placed into necklaces for people to buy. Upon purchase, you are instructed to take a picture of your rice and upload it to Tumblr, where they will be placed in order. Eventually, this Tumblr will produce and entire book about a baby that experiences ecstatic, presexual joy upon smearing a chocolate cookie all over her face.
What Did You Say, I Wasn’t Listening
After that she’ll sign for her own show on IFC. It’ll be a concept show about two fish stuck in a bowl together whose marriage goes down hill when one fish loses his faith in God.
Friendship Bracelets
Her next film will be a darkly funny drama about two 9-year-old girls tasked with selling Girl Scout Cookies. After sneaking into the airport to steal iPhones from business men, they use technology to micromanage their collective little brothers to do all the work while they try to figure out what’s going on on YouPorn. A new girl moves to the block and hangs out with them, quietly making friendship bracelets while they watch people licking each other. Nothing much happens.
