Lynn Shelton

Lynn Shelton worked in Hollywood as an actress and journalist, among other things. Shelton had to make up for a lot of lost ground because she didn’t think she would thrive until she realized later in life that she could produce movies. Shelton started her career as an editor before releasing her first feature film as a director, We Go Way Back — the film was delivered on a shoestring budget.

After Humpday premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Shelton’s career rose to a certain degree. The film was purchased by Magnolia Pictures for release and was screened in the Director’s Fortnight category at Cannes. Her TV credits include Master of None, Shameless, and New Girl. She also worked as an executive producer on Little Fires Everywhere and directed Maron’s latest comic specials, End Times Fun and Too Real. She is best remembered for her contagious laugh and her strong sense of community that inspired many.
