On this episode of Lattes & Art, we sit down with award-winning filmmaker Summer Shelton to explore her journey from a rural sheep farm in North Carolina to the world of independent cinema. Summer has worked alongside acclaimed directors, navigated the highs and lows of indie filmmaking, and won the Independent Spirit Producer’s Award.
We dive into her latest project, You & I, a micro-budget feature film that beautifully captures love, intimacy, and human connection. Summer shares the challenges and rewards of bringing a story to life with limited resources, the realities of the filmmaking industry, and how she’s built a career that balances passion with practicality.
If you're an aspiring filmmaker, storyteller, or just love independent film, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make movies outside the Hollywood system.
