Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing authentic items from Jakarta's suppliers to Yogyakarta's traditional craft workshops for your Indonesian production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Indonesia, this role draws on an extraordinary diversity of cultural traditions across the archipelago—from Javanese batik and wayang puppetry to Balinese woodcarving and traditional metalwork. 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 Indonesian props masters who have relationships with suppliers in Jakarta, traditional artisan communities in Yogyakarta and Bali, and production companies across the archipelago. Our network includes professionals experienced with period productions set across Indonesian history, contemporary Southeast Asian dramas, and international shoots drawn to Indonesia's tropical landscapes and cultural richness.
