Lynn Shelton Does Mad Men Good
Seattle's beloved indie film maven Lynn Shelton (Humpday) directed the 10th episode of Mad Men seaso
Last summer, Seattle filmmaker Lynn Shelton was tapped to direct an episode of Mad Men. (Typing “squee!!” here would be an understatement.) Acclaimed for writing and directing the small and lovely—not to mention award-winning—films We Go Way Back, My Effortless Brilliance and Humpday, Shelton is also known for her improvisational techniques.

Today is the first day of fall. The weather is turning colder and rainier and sweater season is upon us. (Okay, I admit that I was bundled in a sweater for most of “summer,” but that’s not the point!) I’m actually thrilled for autumn’s arrival because there are so many wonderful arts events scheduled.
