Born December 26, 1972, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England, UK is an English film director, screenwriter, editor and independent film actor.
Left high school shortly before receiving a certificate. He became a member of a skinhead group and was detained for a minor criminal offense (the events of his upcoming film "This is England" are autobiographical). At the age of 20 he left for Nottingham, where he changed his social circle. I got carried away with shooting short films. He enrolled in an acting course at Burton upon Trent College, where he met and became friends with the co-author of many of his future works, Paddy Considine.
His first films of the late 1990s, including Room for Romeo Brass, tell about his own fate, the people around him, whose thoughts and feelings he knows well. These works had some success at the festivals of auteur and independent films, but Shane Meadows became world famous for his sixth and seventh films: "Dead Man's Shoes" and "This is England". It was especially difficult for the director to shoot a tough, almost violent film about provincial teenagers from a group of skinheads, evolving from petty football hooliganism to racial intolerance. Finding himself on the verge of moral and physical exhaustion after filming the film, Meadows divorced his wife Louise, with whom he was tied as a family, and long-term business relationship (she was the producer of several of his films) and for some time underwent inpatient treatment. However, the film's success was impressive: in 2006-2008, the film won 11 victories in 25 nominations at leading international film shows, including BAFTA awards for Best Picture and BIFA for Best British Independent Film.
In 2007, Eurostar, the owner of the London-Paris-Brussels railway network, while developing new ways of forming an image that could replace product placement, invited Shane Meadows to make a 10-minute film. The material prepared by the director became a full-fledged work of fiction for 70 minutes. The film "Somerstown" was highly praised by critics. Since 2009, he began filming two television series "This is England'86" (4 parts of 60 minutes) and "This is England'88" (3 parts of 60 minutes). Meadows explained his decision to enter this project with a huge amount of material, ideas and ideas that were accumulated during the work on the film "This is England". In 2012, he won a BAFTA for Best Miniseries for This Is England'88.
