Props Masters
Expert props masters with access to Vancouver and Toronto prop houses for your Canadian production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Canada, this role benefits from a mature film industry infrastructure with well-established prop houses in Vancouver and Toronto, bilingual resources in Montreal, and specialist suppliers who serve both domestic and Hollywood productions. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify every required prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking continuity across scenes.
We connect you with Canadian props masters who have deep relationships with prop rental houses in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. Our network includes professionals experienced with period productions set in Canada's diverse historical settings, contemporary urban dramas, wilderness shoots, and the large-scale international productions that regularly film across Canada using federal and provincial tax credits.
