If you are a fan of Miranda July's writing, or if you are one of those types of people who is interested in knowing what people are about, check out Miranda's book 'It Chooses You'. While she was working on the screenplay for her second movie, 'The Future', she procrastinated/sought inspiration by reading the Penny Saver (think old-school, paper-based, pre-computer version of craigslist) and then going on interviews with the people that she found in its pages. The book is a collection of interviews and reflections with people that she would never have met otherwise, and I kind of loved the selections from it that she read at a Symphony Space event. I listened to the readings on a Selected Shorts' podcast, but you can check it out here.
And here is the trailer for the movie, 'The Future', which as you can see, eventually got made:
