Tatsuya Shimada
I am an experienced Production Manager, Coordinator, and Assistant Director with over 20 years in the film and advertising industry. Having worked extensively across New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and the Asia-Pacific region, I have collaborated with global brands such as Toyota and Coca-Cola, as well as major film and television productions, including Tokyo Vice, Sunny, and Bachelor Japan series.
Fluent in both English and Japanese, I specialize in managing international productions, optimizing workflows, and facilitating clear communication across multicultural teams. In addition to my on-set and logistical expertise, I have recently expanded my skill set by completing the AFTRS Production Accounting Course, gaining practical knowledge in budgeting and cost management.
Known for being reliable, adaptable, and detail-oriented, I thrive under pressure and am committed to getting the job done right!
