Shane was born in Blackpool, Lancashire in 1986 to his mother Andrea & his father Fraser, after living for a couple of years just on the outside of Blackpool they moved out into the countryside, but still not far from Blackpool (Only a few miles) Shane's childhood was great as he attended Hambleton County Primary school before heading off to St. Aidan's High school, during this time his very close uncle bought a local video shop & a computer shop this is where Shane really started to get into films.
Shane started to take films more seriously than school and before you knew it he was basically all about films, he was even the highest video renter at the local shop!
