From his humble beginnings in the world of Claymation, to documentaries about hurricane Katrina, to scripted narratives about killer Port-A-Potties, the Civil War, and shrimp boats on the high seas, Shea is a born storyteller who is heavily influenced by the world around him. From his roots in the coal mining towns of Virginia, to the flats of Texas, to living in the swamps of Florida, over the mountains and into the cities of North Carolina, Shea draws inspiration from all walks of his life. Shea’s spent time at INSP TV, where he wrote and directed feature films for theatrical and television release. In 2016, Shea directed his first feature Heritage Falls for INSP. He has produced programming for SPEED and Fox Sports, he also wrote and directed 2013’s A Chess Player, the 2015 My Luchador and the 2017 Crab Trap with producer Chip White.
