about the speaker
As National Head of Production at Special Australia, Tash Johnson is responsible for the “how” behind some of the industry’s most ambitious creative work. Tash is an expert at navigating the high-pressure intersection of craft and complexity, leading integrated teams across film, photography, tech, and the non-traditional. She is a firm believer that the best production leaders aren’t just managers, but tireless problem-solvers who fight to ensure the final output retains the soul and detail of the original vision.
With over 20 years of experience and a pedigree of award-winning work at Australia’s top agencies, Tash has become a leading voice on navigating the messy realities of modern production without losing the beauty and craft that makes the work famous.

Everyone says they care about craft. But craft is not a belief. It’s the result of a series of complex decisions made about time, risk, control and money, all balanced against a creative vision.
This session explores what it actually takes to protect the work in a dynamic industry, and what people are willing to sacrifice to make it happen.
The auditorium is located on Level 2 of The Rebel Theatre.
