In 2010, Shelley and her husband, Harry Winer, formed Smash Media Productions. Harry is president of the production company while Shelley acts as co-president. Through Smash Media, they have produced numerous movies for the Hallmark Channel such as Lucky Christmas, Perfect Match, A Bramble House Christmas, Falling For You and Holiday Hearts. On her own, Shelley has produced Summer of Dreams and Christmas in Evergreen, also for Hallmark. "We really loved working with [Hallmark], I mean really loved working with them," Shelley told Steve Gidlow in 2018, "The people are lovely and I love their movies, these happy stories where you get to explore these wonderful arcs of peoples' lives and how they change and open their hearts to love."

Through Smash Media, they have also produced documentaries like Citizen of the World and Maharajah of the Road. They have also produced a couple of action movies that have been released internationally. They produced The Expatriate (retitled Erased in the US) which starred Aaron Eckhart, Liana Liberato and Olga Kurylenko. And they also produced The Doorman which starred Ruby Rose and Jean Reno. Both are heart-pounding action thrillers that don't disappoint. If you can find them, watch them!
