Writer/Director Shane Devon was born in Louisville, KY and grew up in the small community of Sample, KY. After high school he attended Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, KY, where he discovered a talent for writing. Drawing from his small community background, he found an interest in developing vibrant realistic characters, often placing them in fantastical situations. He created a sketch comedy series with two friends in the early Wild West days of YouTube, which he wrote, directed and edited as he developed his visual style. “Piper Pence and the Pandemic” is his directorial debut and the experience left him with a deep passion for filmmaking. He hopes to simply make movies the rest of his life, come what may.
