Props Masters
Pro props masters sourcing from Madrid's prop houses and Seville's antique dealers for your Spanish production.
Here is how this works in practice. A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set sites used during a production. In Spain, this role draws on a rich cultural heritage spanning Moorish, medieval, and modern periods—from Andalusian craft traditions to Barcelona's modern design scene. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify each needed prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking scene matching across scenes.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with Spanish props masters who have deep relationships with prop houses in Madrid and Barcelona, antique dealers in Seville and Toledo, and specialty vendors across the country. Our network has pros skilled with Moorish and medieval period shoots, modern European dramas, and the global co-productions attracted by Spain's tax incentive of up to 30% for film shoots.

Examples have: the historic Spanish swordmaking and metalwork capital — Toledo steel has been forged for over 2,500 years.

Andalusian leather workers in Sevilla and Córdoba, Catalan ceramic artists in Barcelona and the Costa Brava, Basque metalwork in Bilbao. And Valencian fan-and-fabric craftspeople round out the artisan network.
