Shea Nathaniel Moir was born and raised in Brisbane Australia. As an adolescent, he formed a habit of stealing his parents camera to take both obscure and interesting photographs. When the time came for Shea to chose his high school, he chose the only school, at the time, with a Film and television course, leaving his friends to venture off to other places. As old habits die hard, Shea would steal film and television cameras from the storage rooms to shoot short films and practice cinematography. Teachers of math and science would often mark Shea absent from class knowing full well he was off doing his own thing regarding arts and film. The administration attempted to put a stop to his truanting, until they saw what Shea was producing. An agreement was made between himself and the heads of department that he would continue to focus on his film studies as long as he attended his English classes, which Shea did not cherish the thought of, but agreed to non the less.

In grade ten, Shea threw himself into Drama, Art, Film and Television, but focused mainly on Photography and majored with the highest marks in the school. Post majoring photography studies, Shea went back to the days of old and began truanting class again to make his films. In grade eleven, Shea enrolled in a certificate II of screen, at the Queensland School of Film and Television and went on the following year to complete the certificate III. Shea turned his house upside down and converted it into a film set for one of the six scripts he wrote, (Which the other students chose to film for their final piece) called Deceived. Deceived was directed by Skevros Mavros, the lecturer of the screen course.

Shea then went of to study 3D animation and Digital media at the Jmc Academy in Brisbane. Here he met his mentor and soon to be close friend, Stavros Halvatzis. Stavros encouraged and taught Shea to remain calm and think things through thoroughly, in order to correctly write a screenplay for film and television. He taught Shea, the Hollywood structures and how to venture away from them into what Stavros called, Multiform writing. Which is when Shea set off with his mentors guidance to write would become (5 years later) My Reprisal, Shea's Debut feature film.
