From the Film Independent press release:
Lynn Shelton, director of My Effortless Brilliance, won the sixteenth annual Acura Someone To Watch Award, a $25,000 unrestricted grant created to honor a talented filmmaker of singular vision who has not yet received appropriate recognition. The award is funded by Acura.
*****
Lynn was nominated for her first two features (We Go Way Back and My Effortless Brilliance) before Humpday was accepted into Sundance (and subsequently sold to Magnolia). Clearly Film Independent has good intuition on who to watch for. We at IFP/Seattle are so proud of and happy for our local filmmaker's success!
More in the upcoming days but for a pick at "Power Women" Lynn Shelton, actress Melissa Leo and filmmaker/cinematographer Ellen Kuras, look
