Lynn Shelton Quotes

I can’t wait to do a fully improvised script again, to find people who are really comfortable and into it. It’s about the capabilities of the people you’re working with, what are their strengths and weaknesses. Some of the most brilliant actors need the spine of the text to work off of, and there’s no shame in that; they’re actors, not writers Picture Quote #1
When I started working in film, I loved photography, I loved the image, I loved telling the story within a frame, but as I started playing around with film and video, it was like, ‘Oh my God.’ You just have so much more to play with Picture Quote #1
There’s always so much more that can be conveyed on screen visually in the expressions of people’s faces, in their bodies, in their body language. And also with sound design, with music Picture Quote #1
I like being able to just turn the microscope on a small number of people, get to know them, drop into their lives for a period of time Picture Quote #1
By the time I hit college, my secret shame was the reason I was an actor was my own words sort of dried up. I stopped writing. I stopped being able to form my own vision. That’s actually what my first feature is about - looking back at two different selves Picture Quote #1
I just really feel so grateful to Sundance because I’ve always been an artist and I’ve never been able to make a living at being an artist until Sundance Picture Quote #1

Making art, being creative, is risky, especially for actors, but everybody on the set is being creative. You’re putting yourself out there with ideas, and to have your brain be free of stress so that it can actually do its best work, it feels like you want to have a real sense of intimacy and connection and trust with everybody Picture Quote #1
We’re all flawed, and we all make mistakes, and we all have weaknesses. And those are the kind of people I want to see onscreen, the ones that feel like real flesh-and-blood human beings and not the weird, whitewashed, Hollywood stand-ins for people with the rough edges sanded off that I can’t connect to because they just don’t resonate with me Picture Quote #1
My mom was in education, and I remember reading in one of her books about multiple intelligences - this whole theory about how there are all these different ways you can be intelligent, like eight or 10 of them or something. And one of them is emotional Picture Quote #1
I’d love for there to be a situation - a world in which that’s just not even a question anymore. We are all filmmakers - different stripes, genders, sexual orientations, colors - and our work can be taken on its own terms. I’m really looking forward to that day Picture Quote #1
Hmm, can I be obvious and say there is probably a double standard for male vs. female directors? Sadly, I think that’s actually the case. And it probably stems from the fact that there are proportionately so many fewer women directors than men ones that each project is perhaps more closely scrutinized for its content Picture Quote #1
For me, I want to see diversity in storytelling sources because we live in a very diverse society, and the stories are for the whole society. That’s really important. For me, as a female filmmaker, when I was out on the festival circuit on 2006, I felt like such a freaking anomaly - an oddity Picture Quote #1

It feels to me like everyone is going to do their best work when they feel emotionally safe Picture Quote #1
I can connect with whoever I want to connect with in the world. And I can also write my own script. I don’t have to follow rules. I can sort of just be unconventional Picture Quote #1
So many people have said this, but it’s true: 95 percent of what I do as a director is casting and getting people who can bear the load of what you’re asking them to do and creating this emotionally safe environment Picture Quote #1
I feel like this is the way I was meant to interact with acting. Which is as a director, and helping, working with actors to find their way. Facilitating their performances is so satisfying for me Picture Quote #1
Flaws make us all human, and you’re rooting for characters because of those flaws. It’s ageless if you’re interested in relationships and the way people can or can’t relate to each other Picture Quote #1
I’m drawn again and again to relationships between people who really, really want to connect and just can’t get out of their own way to do it Picture Quote #1

I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor Picture Quote #1
