Shea started his career writing for VICE Magazine. As VICE moved into digital, broadcast, and feature documentaries, he got the opportunities to produce a number of films and series including Gaycation, which featured the actor Elliot Page, and Chemsex. He is best known for being the creator, producer, and presenter of High Society, a documentary series that explores drug culture in the UK and features access to real criminals, the feature-length award-winning documentary Time To Die, which was filmed over four years and covers the illegal underground global network that illegally sources, buys, and sells assisted-dying methods, and his viral VICE documentaries such as Iceman, Targeted Individuals, The Pink Cocaine Wave, Ravers Vs. Putin, The Celebrity Millionaires of Competitive Gaming, and The Last Festival on Earth.
