Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing from Amsterdam's canal house dealers and Dutch design studios for your Netherlands production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In the Netherlands, this role draws on the country's rich Golden Age heritage, world-renowned design tradition, and a practical, well-organised production infrastructure. 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 Dutch props masters who have deep relationships with prop houses in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, antique dealers along the canals, and specialist vendors across the country. Our network includes professionals experienced with Dutch Golden Age period productions, contemporary European dramas, and international co-productions supported by the Netherlands Film Production Incentive.
