Jacques Shy was born in Gloversville, NY. He lived there until his
family moved to Durham, North Carolina in July of 1992. His family
moved around for a couple of years until they settled on a house in
Durham that was soon to burn to the ground. In the coming years,
Jacques would attend a number of elementary schools, Lowe's Grove
Middle school, and C.E. Jordan High School where he was the 2001
undefeated state wrestling champion at 160lbs. Shy also played
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, and Tenor Sax while in school, also,
Shy has played bass guitar since age 12. Shy has trained in a number of
martial arts, and attributes his goal driven life to his family
upbringing, love of Calvin and Hobbes, and admiration for Bruce Lee
which led Shy to study philosophy, mixed martial arts, choreograph
fights, act, write, and direct. He often states that his first moment
of assurance came when his teacher/friend/writer/director Matt Moore
put him in front of 30 "Children of the Hunt" cast members said "this
is Jacques, he knows what I want" and walked in the house, leaving Shy
to instruct the workings of the fight sequences. Shy works constantly
with his friends from Adam Ross Productions and always considers them
his family. He is also often associated with Killing of the Kid
Productions working with them as on set photographer, actor, fight
choreographer, and whatever his friends need him to do. Shy also has
his own production company "Ill Shinobi Cat Entertainment". As of March
2010, Shy resides in Los Angeles.
