Shane Christopher Filer is a novelist, comic book writer and artist, and video maker. His published literary works consist of a novel (Exit), a short-story collection (Cowboy & Tribe), scripts for various comic publishers and the upcoming graphic novel (Dark Star), a semi-biography of silent picture icon Louise Brooks. Shane also makes videos. For two decades he worked in advertising, primarily writing and directing ads for international clients. Over time, he grew disillusioned and sick of it. In November 2021 his wife Alena suffered a still unknown, undiagnosed stroke-like health event that left her with damage to short- and long-term memory, her academic work on hold and their lives changed, perhaps forever. Following this, Shane decided to rekindle his interest in film-making and use those skills for something meaningful, by creating a video series with Alena documenting their journey of recovery and rediscovery—wherever that might take them.
