Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing authentic items from Lima's suppliers to Cusco's traditional artisan markets for your Peruvian production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Peru, this role draws on one of the Americas' oldest and most layered cultural heritages—from Incan artefacts and colonial-era furnishings to vibrant contemporary Andean crafts. 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 Peruvian props masters who have relationships with suppliers in Lima's Miraflores and Barranco districts, traditional artisan markets in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and specialty vendors across the country. Our network includes professionals experienced with Incan-era period productions, contemporary Latin American dramas, and international shoots drawn to Peru's dramatic Andean and Amazon landscapes.
