2022 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Summer Shelton’s You & I

Published on November 25, 2021

With a decade’s worth of producing under her belt (she got her start working on Ramin Bahrani projects beginning with Goodbye Solo) she was selected as Sundance Institute for the Bingham Ray Creative Producing Fellow and was the recipient of the 2018 Independent Spirit Piaget Producer’s Award. Summer Shelton went in front the camera, directly behind it, did the number crunching and film editing for her directorial debut, You & I. A 2021 US in Progress selected project, this project is so low on the radar that we don’t have logline but we do know that Shelton was joined by The Killing of Two Lovers‘ Clayne Crawford and Ashley Shelton on a micro shoot.

Gist: Unknown.

Production Co./Producers: Summer Shelton.

Prediction: NEXT.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic, international).
