Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing from Bangkok's Chatuchak markets and Chiang Mai's artisan workshops for your Thai production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Thailand, this role draws on a rich Buddhist cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship in metalwork, woodcarving, and textiles, and Bangkok's vibrant market culture that can supply virtually anything. 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 Thai props masters who have deep relationships with Bangkok's prop suppliers, traditional artisan communities in Chiang Mai, and specialty vendors across the country. Our network includes professionals experienced with period Thai temple productions, Muay Thai and martial arts films, contemporary Southeast Asian dramas, and the international productions attracted by Thailand's competitive cash rebate incentive and experienced local crews.
