- Birth nameShane Richard Acker
- Post-apocalyptic stories.
- Acker was hyperactive as a child, therefore his mother and father encouraged him to draw.
- His favorite TV shows are Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Sons Of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and Deadwood.
- The stop motion animated Rankin/Bass special, Nestor, The Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, is what inspired him to become a filmmaker and an animator.
- He has, as of 2026, written a script for a low budget adventure film that he plans on having stop motion animated creatures for.
- His favorite films in no particular order are Pinocchio (1940), The Godfather Part II, The Deer Hunter, Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile.
- I'd always been a cartoonist, [but] I leaned towards architecture because I didn't know you could make a living being an animator. In architecture, with all these building codes, all these historical codes, you start to realize how restrictive an art it really is - and for good reason. Because if the building falls down, someone gets hurt, that's a career-ender right there. No one's going to sue me if they don't have a good experience watching a film.
