Lynn Shelton's 'Humpday' in theatres
MUMBAI: Lyn Shelton‘s Sundance smash Humpday released last weekend after generating strong early notices for its compelling story.
Magnolia picked up the film shortly after its world premiere screening and it‘s been hopping across the globe since then.
Humpday has since gone to numerous festivals and events including Cannes, Edinburgh, Provincetown, Seattle, Los Angeles, and recently Rooftop Films in New York City, before settling down into the upcoming theatrical release.
It was heard that Shelton‘s idea for Humpday emerged from a conversation she had with fellow filmmaker Joe Swanberg who was apparently gushing about some of the gay films he‘d seen at Seattle‘s Hump fest.
Similarly in Humpday, the two guys (filmmaker and actors Duplass and Leonard) decide to shoot and enter their straight-gay porn film in the Seattle festival. As a result of the experience, Sheldon naturally, has a lot to say about making quality films that don‘t break the bank.
