制作 Production

Shooting in any public locations with lots of potential interferences can be an utterly hopeless nightmare, unless your unit production manager is the tough and amazing Shinji Haseyama (left). He can take care of cops, gangsters, motorcycle gangs, drunks and even a white cat that walks into your set. Leave it up to legendary location manager Etsuhiro Deguchi (center) to secure a free empty theater on a national holiday when nothing is available anywhere around Tokyo, or to find streets with the perfect view. You’ll never go hungry with the ever smiling key production assistant Hiroshi Kimura (right) who provides you with catering where you want to have both choices on the menu.
