Director Lynn Shelton dies at age 54
Passed away Friday from a "previously unidentified blood disorder".
RIP. I wasn't familiar with her earlier movies, but I really loved 'Sword of Trust' that came out last year. And I liked some of the TV shows she directed ("G.L.O.W." and "Fresh Off The Boat").

Woah. I hadn't seen her last couple of movies, but Your Sisters Sister is a particular favorite and I was always interested to hear what she was up to.

Hadn't seen her old films but like the OP, I saw Sword of Trust about a month ago.

Marc Maron has been dating her and living together. I listen to wtf religiously. I feel close because he is very open on the podcasts. He actually mentioned her not feeling well, but saying it isn’t CV19.
I don’t know what else to add.

RIP
Sword of Trust was great and never would have predicted this would have happened about 2 months after I watched that movie.
I like Maron too and this must be really difficult for him and hope he does not relapse and start using substances again to relieve the pain.

“There was a previously unknown, underlying condition. It was not COVID-19. The doctors could not save her. They tried. Hard,” Maron said in the statement.
“I loved her very much as I know many of you did as well. It’s devastating. I am leveled, heartbroken and in complete shock and don’t really know how to move forward in this moment,” Maron went on. “I needed you all to know. I don’t know some of you. Some I do. I’m just trying to let the people who were important to her know.
“She was a beautiful, kind, loving, charismatic artist,” Maron said. “Her spirit was pure joy. She made me happy. I made her happy. We were happy. I made her laugh all the time. We laughed a lot. We were starting a life together. I really can’t believe what is happening,” he said. “This is a horrendous, sad loss.”

She had a great run of independent feature films in a short period of time; Humpday, Your Sister's Sister, Touchy Feely and Laggies. She will be missed. RIP

Listen to the first 5 minutes of Marc's podcast this week. It's heartbreaking as he recounts the weekend's tragedy.

I hadn’t known much about Lynn other than Sword of Trust. Her craft seemed to be budding. What could have been. That’s all I can really say. RIP
