Somebody

Miranda July · USA · Comedy / Satire · 10 min · 1.8M views
From the director of Me and You and Everyone We Know

Directed by Miranda July · Starring Sophie Hannah, Cory Roberts, Ian Lerch, Lika Bosman · 2014

A new messaging service called Somebody promises to say what you can't: instead of arriving on your phone, your message is delivered in person by the stranger nearest the recipient.

Miranda July's deadpan, tender comedy imagines an app that sends strangers to say what we can't say ourselves.

Have you ever found it impossible to say something, face to face, to someone you know, someone you love? The words just won’t come out? New messaging service, SOMEBODY, could help.
