SMALL TIME

Shane Meadows

Shane Meadows (Uttoxeter, UK, 1972), after dropping out of school, tried a variety of jobs until he started shooting short films. Film producer Stephen Woolley signed him to direct Twenty Four Seven (1997), which was presented in several international film festivals and won numerous awards such as the FIPRESCI Award at Venice. The following comedy Once Upon a Time in the Midlands was selected at the Cannes Film Festival, and in 2000 he presented at Toronto Film Festival This Is England: the film was followed by two tv series, also directed by Meadows. In 2008 Somers Town was premiered at the Berlinale and the following year the mockumentary Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee screened at 27th Turin Film Festival.
