ANGELA SHELTON 

Summing up Angela Shelton is like a hazardous comedy variety show in a dance off with a healthy hot mom magazine, which is also how she lives her life. You never know what's going to happen next and there might be some F words, but it will be fun, fulfilling, and freeing!

Angela is a funny award-winning filmmaker and Superhero. She creates movies that heal, products that restore, healing that's hilarious, and Sacred Circus Church Revivals that bring WHoly Shifts of transformation out of pain and into play! 

Angela started out as a mime at the mall and now does puppets to talk about pain slaying products.

 

No matter where you arrive into her kaleidoscope, Angela's core mission is saving the children, including our inner ones, by inspiring you to live joyfully no matter what you've been through. 

Shelton is a big mouth who tells it all, making the horrible hilarious, turning trauma into triumph and pain into purpose. She's a one of a kind voice for survivors and the number one expert in the world on child sexual abuse. She's also famous in rape crisis centers, and makes parasite killing pies.  

Despite ups and downs, she loves humans and is an advocate for MEN, and will tell you all about in her book Meat, Milk, and Men and her boxing film, the Hammer. 

From Filmmaking into Farmer's Markets, she lives as full as she makes your life while allowing her own life to be her teaching and profound playground. From messy to marvelous, she's the hot mom who brings the HOLY. 

As a superhero for kids and a trained holistic healing coach, specializing in child sexual abuse survivors having holy bedrooms - she's fun for most of the whole family, from the creepy uncle who wants to finally face fears to grandma who's ready to finally dance and everyone else seeking pain relief and fun finally. 

Filmmaker and Writer 

Angela Shelton is a multi-award-­winning filmmaker, whose first screenwriting and producing credit, Tumbleweeds (1999), was awarded the Sundance Film Festival  (2000) Filmmaker’s Trophy and earned the lead actress Janet McTeer an Academy Award® nomination and a Golden Globe® win.   

 

Angela followed Tumbleweeds with her highly acclaimed adaptation of Kaye Gibbons’ novel Charms For The Easy Life (2002) for Showtime, starring Mimi Rogers and Gena Rowlands.   

 

 

Searching to Find the Sacred

In 2001 Angela made her directorial debut with the documentary Searching For Angela Shelton, aimed at surveying women across the U.S. who were also named Angela Shelton. However, she soon discovered that 70% of the women she interviewed with the same name had, like herself, been a victim of rape, childhood sexual abuse, and/or domestic violence. The film received many accolades and went on to begin a grassroots movement of survivors and humanitarian organizations around the world dedicated to exposing the epidemic of abuse. 

Her memoir, Finding Angela Shelton, was published in 2006 and described how her journey across America, while making the documentary, was a spiritual journey that changed her life. 

Following the documentary’s release Angela travelled for over a decade as a public speaker on the subject of trauma, recovery, and thriving instead of just surviving abuse

 

 

Emmy Winning Actress and Superhero

As an actress Angela won an Emmy for her role as Safe Side Superchick in the video series The Safe Side created by Baby Einstein’s Julie Clark. The videos Stranger Safety (2004) and Internet Safety (2006) are shown in schools across the country.

 

On film and TV Angela has starred in Eagle and the Albatross (2020), 9 Line (2014) and Comfortably Numb (1995) and her television roles include Pacific Blue, Chicago Hope and Becker.  

 

Into the Ring

In 2016 Angela wrote and directed her first feature film Heart, Baby!, that later became THE HAMMER, starring Gbenga Akinnagbe, (The Wire), Jackson Rathbone, (The Twilight Saga), Keir O’Donnell (An American Sniper), which she also produced.

The Hammer aka Heart, Baby! tells the remarkable true story of Tennessee prisoner, George Lee Martin, who in 1984 was offered freedom in exchange for a place on the U.S. Olympic team and a chance to win gold for his country.  He refused. 

 

 

 

In 2017, Angela took a dare to direct another movie while her first one was in post production.  She wrote and directed the golf comedy Eagle and the Albatross, starring Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years), and KPOP start Amber Liu in which she also plays the golf champion Tracy. 

Both films came out in 2020 right in the heart of the plandemic and went from sold out theatrical runs to online only. 

 

Music in the Mayhem 

During the lockdown Angela traveled to Nashville to open the recording studio Round Room Music that was a fun indie fun spot for 3 years until a tornado went through it! 

Ironically Angela wrote a rock-n-roll song about a Tornado and a Hurricane getting it on and boom, a tornado took the roof off. You can't write this stuff! 

Angela followed her love of lyric writing and music to create her first recorded song, Really Love Me, and then her epic 12 min song for survivors. 

 

Stirring Up Trouble

While traveling with her documentary, she made a promise to survivors to stay funny and share comedy that's not funny and she's kept her promise. She created the online comedy cooking show, Stirring Up Trouble as a way to share funny truths through food. 

 

It's all a Sacred Circus 

 

Angela founded the Sacred Circus Church as a way to flip holy rolling tent revivals into more fun and play with traveling booths with body, mind, and soul remedies that inject joy, laughter, as the healing love of Yeshua. 

Yesss-youuuu-ahhhh ready for some Wholy Shift!
