Shane Meadows Director of This Is England
29th December 1972
Meadows had a rough time at school when he was younger - after his father was accused of murder, and left school before finishing hes GCSEs. Although when he was 20 in moved to Nottingham and made a few short films with his friends. He became interested in filming and so he enrolled in a performing arts school in Burton college.
Most of Meadows films have been set around the midlands area - where he was from, and always tries to have a reality aspect to his films. As the films are set where he was brought up, most of his films have things he has experienced in making the films semi-autobiographical.
Meadows shortest film - 'The Stairwell' is just 40seconds long and is recorded on a mobile phone!
