Miranda July,Brigitte Sire
In the summer of 2009, Miranda July was struggling to finish writing the screenplay for her much-anticipated second film. During her increasingly long lunch breaks, she began to obsessively read the ,PennySaver,, the iconic classifieds booklet that reached everywhere and seemed to come from nowhere. Who was the person selling the â€œLarge leather Jacket, $10â€? It seemed important to find outâ€”or at least it was a great distraction from the screenplay.,Accompanied by photographer Brigitte Sire, July crisscrossed Los Angeles to meet a random selection of ,PennySaver, sellers, glimpsing thirteen surprisingly moving and profoundly specific realities, along the way shaping her film, and herself, in unexpected ways.,Elegantly blending narrative, interviews, and photographs with Julyâ€™s off-kilter honesty and deadpan humor, this is a story of procrastination and inspiration, isolation and connection, and grabbing hold of the invisible world.
