Shane Alexander Caldwell | Director/Writer
Shane Alexander Caldwell was born in Australia in 1979. A political science graduate turned journalist, editor and social commentator, “The Serpent in Paradise” is his first major documentary film project.
This anticipated project comes several years in the wake of his founding of the successful online news and analysis publication, Circus Bazaar Magazine and its mother organisation, The Circus Bazaar Company.
His conception of both projects came after spending several years living in Scandinavia and finding an intense fascination in several aspects of Norwegian society that as he puts it are, “just are not spoken about”.
