SHANE MEADOWS
Shane meadows is best known for films such as Dead Mans Shoes, This is England, Once upon a time in the Midlands and Twenty Four Seven.
Meadows, from the area of Staffordshire had a slightly rough childhood as he was bullied at school. He left shortly before his GCSE's working on a market selling fruit and veg. Around the age of 20 he had made around 30 short films, however he could not showcase them anywhere as there was no such events like film festivals so it was his friends that set one up at a local cinema.
Several of his films have won awards at film festivals, including the Douglas Hickox award, Best screen play award and British Independent Film Awards 2006. He has also been nominated for a BAFTA and then later went on to win one for his film This is England.
