MIRANDA BAILEY
Miranda Bailey first wrote, directed and starred in the play MEMORIES FROM AN ATTIC about her parents' divorce when she was at the Vail Mountain high school. She explored how divorce affected the family unit and simultaneously embarrassed her parents publicly when it was put on and the whole town watched it.
She then attended Skidmore college where she wrote and directed the play LIGHT YOUR OWN about 5 women in the lobby of a psychiatrist's office all waiting for the same appointment. After graduating she directed the one woman show GIRLS ARE FANCY in NYC before moving to Los Angeles.
Miranda's first cinematic directorial debut was GREENLIT, a comedic documentary looking at the inherent hypocrisies surrounding Hollywood when trying to "green" a film set which debuted at SXSW in 2010. IFC International and Virgil Films picked it up for distribution.
Since then, she directed the award-winning narrative short ANOTHER HAPPY ANNIVERSARY which, after a successful festival run, premiered on Shorts TV and has hosted on Jill Soloway's website "Wifey TV" promoting female filmmakers.
Miranda also shot and directed The Behind the Scenes of James Gunn's SUPER and an episode of the web TV series FIRSTS.
