Shane Kalman
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
- Additional Crew
- Producer
Long, long ago Shane found his passion for keeping the Directors & Producers happy and the Crews safe & on schedule. Before the inception of the current Director's Guild of America Commercial trainee program, Shane did hard time the old-school way: by logging 600 days with the Production and AD Departments to get into the Union. His first DGA job was in August 2007. Shane has been AD-ing his ass off ever since on 1000's of various productions.
From SNL to a Superbowl XLVIII commercial, a TV Pilot to a Table Top shoot, Shane is skilled in understanding the nuances of each project. Whether it is logging hundreds of extras and keeping the herd focused or digging deep to intimately understand the director's vision, Shane puts his heart into every project. He has sat on the DGA Contract Negotiating Committee 3 times since 2009 and From Los Angeles to Madrid, North Carolina to Maine, Shane is willing to go the distance to get the job done on time and on budget. He might even make you smile a couple times along the way.
Shane is a DGA 1st & 2nd AD & a member of SAG.
