I want my movies to feel like you’re paratrooping into somebody’s life. - Lynn Shelton

My fascination is with relationships at their most microcosmic. The more epic, the more uninteresting the film-making becomes. It becomes about getting the perfect crane shot.

As a filmmaker, I really am most interested in humans and their deep desire to connect to each other. How do they get through their own lives? Where have I come and where am I now? And where do I want to go from here? It’s all of those humanistic questions.

Good drama (and comedy) often comes from the simple act of placing characters in a situation that is not usual nor comfortable for them.
