Join us on Friday 17 April, 6.00pm for our new #FemaleFilmmakerFriday strand Eye to Eye where Mia Bays, Oscar-winning producer and director of Birds’ Eye View, will be chatting to writer & director Lynn Shelton. 

Mia has been a huge fan of after falling in love with her first film HUMPDAY, and feels Shelton is the most interesting of the so-called Mumblecore directors.

The conversation will be broadcast on Facebook Live on our Facebook Page, which you can access here. Live captioning will also be available. 

 

Shelton’s canon of work includes WE GO WAY BACK, YOUR SISTER’S SISTER, LAGGIES and OUTSIDE IN from 2018, starring Edie Falco, is astonishing – see it on Netflix now).

Shelton’s latest release SWORD OF TRUST is a riot, full of pathos and co-starring two of the cast of one of our other recent comedy faves, BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON. Both of these last films received rave reviews out of Sundance Film Festival but didn’t get theatrical releases in the UK.  SWORD OF TRUST starring Mark Maron was released recently on Sky Movies / NOW TV, and both platforms are offering free trials for new subscribers so we urge you to check out her films now, especially the latest.
