Film4 has announced it will reunite with director Miranda July for her new film Satisfaction, which will begin shooting in Los Angeles in the autumn. Film Four and July previously collaborated on Me And You And Everyone We Know, which took 4 prizes at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005.
Satisfaction, a triangular love story about the elusive quest for satisfaction, is written and directed by July and produced by Gina Kwon. The film is executive produced by Film4's Peter Carlton and Charles Gillibert of France's MK2.
Financing deal was brokered by Rich Klubeck at UTA, who will represent the film for US rights. Film4 has all UK rights and MK2 is co-financing the film and will handle the rest of the world and France.
Satisfaction will star July with other cast to be announced.
July said, 'I've been working with Gina nearly continuously since Me And You. She helped me develop the performance that was the starting point for this new movie. Film4's daring faith in my first movie made them an obvious first choice this time.'
Film4's Carlton added, 'It's not often you come across a voice so strong, so particular, which makes you sit up and look at the world afresh and makes you laugh out loud. That's what we recognised in Miranda when we stepped in to back her first film when others doubted if it would work. That was just the beginning of the story and we're proud to continue the collaboration to bring Miranda's delightful vision of the world to a wider audience.'
