Her Effortless Brilliance was directed by Shelton's longtime friend Megan Griffiths, who produced the tribute alongside Mel Eslyn, the Duplass brothers and Adam Kersh.
"It has been really meaningful to me to work on this project," Griffiths said in a statement. "Lynn was one of my dearest friends and losing her has been leveling. It has given me comfort to focus on celebrating her life by bringing together all of these beautiful performances and hearing the heartfelt words of her many friends and collaborators. I hope it brings solace to her family and all those mourning this unfathomable loss."
Shelton passed away May 16 due to a previously unidentified blood disorder. The late director's team is also encouraging fans to donate to the Shelton/Seal Family Fund for Northwest School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children, or Seattle's Northwest Film Forum.
