The Seattle Times
The Seattle Times covers the journey of local filmmakers Lynn Shelton and Linas Phillips from Seattle to Sundance Film Festival. Lynn Shelton, who was very successful at last year’s film festival with her feature film, “Humpday”, is back again this year with “$5 Cover: Seattle.” A project with MTV Films, “$5 Cover: Seattle” focuses 13 local bands in the web series. Shelton will show a sample of this series on Saturday at Sundance and the program will air in its entirety on MTV this spring. A Volkswagen van gave Linas Shelton the idea for his project, “Bass Ackwards,” in which he captures his 10-day cross-country move from Seattle to New York. The film will be screening in the festival’s new Next category and Phillips has already set up an on-demand DVD distribution plan to sell his movie to the public immediately after the festival.
