Shady Acres Entertainment is an American film production company founded in 1999 by producer and director Tom Shadyac.[1][2][3] It is based at Universal Studios.[3][4] It is taken from his last name, Shadyac, which separated and became two words "Shady" and "Acres". It also derives from a fictional mental hospital from the first Ace Ventura film. Shady Acres signed a production deal with Universal to produce films while its lone television series was co-produced by Touchstone Television (now ABC Signature).

On June 4, 1999, Shady Acres received a television shingle, which would be based at Touchstone Television (now ABC Signature). Although the company produced a handful of pilots, only one of them would go on the air.[5]

On February 14, 2008, Universal decided to cut ties with the studio, and became an independent production outfit.[6]

Nicole Pritchett was the head of development and production at Shady Acres Entertainment from 2009 until 2015, along with one of the producers of the documentary I Am.
