Summary
As an On Set Property Master, I am charged with facilitating the artistic visions set forth by the creatives of a film. The Prop Master procures props in the prep phase of pre-production and I accommodate additional real-time requests from the Director and actors on set. Because of the speedy nature of my work, I am highly trained in being adaptable and often coming up with physical objects to suit a scene with little to no notice.
With over 10 years experience working on film sets, I find myself ready for the next step in my career. I am passionate about film making and am a very strong leader.
