Shane Meadows is a Nottingham legend
With big name actors queuing up to star in his films, perhaps the most refreshing thing about Shane, is his willingness to film in local locations. You're more likely to see them on East Midlands today, than any other cinematic masterpiece. Coupled with his eagerness to work with local untrained actors. Before Shane, the streets of and people of Nottingham had not appeared so prominently in British cinema since Albert Finney starred in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, by Nottingham author Alan Sillitoe.
