Shane Meadows was born on the 26th December 1972 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. He left school early before completing any GCSEs. Eventually, he came to make 30 short films with friends he met in Nottingham. However, none of these films were published as there were no film festivals in the village. Meadows went to study Performing Arts at Burton college, where he and his first met friend Paddy Considine, made a band called ‘She Talks To Angels.’
