Shane Kennedy moved to Salt Spring Island at an early age to learn from Sydney Banks. He later became the editor and publisher of the books of Sydney Banks as well as publishing over 2,500 other titles through his company Lone Pine Publishing.

He is the director/producer of the videos of interviews and talks given by Sydney Banks that are on the Sydney Banks YouTube channel and the 3PGC website.
Although Shane studied psychology and the Three Principles under Roger Mills, he chose to contribute to sharing this understanding by helping Sydney Banks and others communicate to the growing communities through books, audio recordings and videos.

He also has experience in film and television, creating series and current affairs programs for ABC, PBS and BBC. He has made films in Papua New Guinea, the Amazon, the high Arctic, Borneo, the Dairen rainforest, Easter Island and the Andes. Shane is of Aboriginal heritage.
