Tom Shimandle is a film crew freelancer, writer, and director based in Chicago. He specializes in lighting & camera on set, having headed departments on indie and studio productions alike. In between the long hours, he occasionally remembers to direct a music video or write a screenplay.
An avid fan of cinema, nerd culture, and comedy in all its forms, Tom is excited to showcase his pilot, “Day Players,” a snarky but devoted love letter the working stiffs of Hollywood.
Shimandle’s life goals include making you laugh, having naturally-occurring blue hair, and improving as a visual storyteller.
