After booking the lead role in Gavin O’Connor’s first film, Comfortably Numb, Angela teamed up with Gavin and the pair adapted Angela’s first novel into the film Tumbleweeds.
The film won the filmmaker’s trophy at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and brought the lead actress, Janet McTeer, an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win. 
Angela began writing screen and teleplays and received outstanding reviews for her adaptation of Kaye Gibbon’s novel Charms for the Easy Life
The piece is capably adapted by writer Angela Shelton (“Tumbleweeds”), who does a particularly strong job of spreading out the narrative markers; for example, the easy-life that Charlie Kate receives at the beginning comes back at just the right moment, and the sporadic appearances of the town’s conventional and hapless doctor (Wayne Robson) build up to a well-designed climax.

…The real charm here isn’t the rabbit’s food but the work of Angela Shelton, who turned the historic novel by Kaye Gibbons into a witty and engaging teleplay filled with sparkle, the right amount of sentimentality and some truly memorable performances. Hollywood Reporter
Angela’s multi-award winning film Searching for Angela Shelton surprised her and the world when it put a spotlight on sexual abuse and domestic violence and started a grassroots movement of healing for abuse survivors worldwide.
