Shane Meadows who is now a well-recognised film director made a start in the film world in 1994 when he volunteered at Intermedia film and video ltd in Nottingham. Shane had a special deal with them in which he worked there for free and in return he was allowed to use their filming equipment.
It was shortly after this when he started to ask family and friends to help out with his films. As it was something he had never done before, his family and friends were slightly un-sure about what he was up to. He then had no choice, but to make his films on his own. He then showed them to his friends and family and due to how successful they went, they then wanted to help him with his short films in the future – this is what happened and as the group become more passionate about it, they were making nearly one short film a month.
The group were now making short films of a very high quality, but were annoyed as there were not really any film festivals to showcase their work at. This resulted in them setting up their own small event and this eventually became a n international festival called ‘Flip Side’.
