Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing from Valletta's baroque heritage and Malta Film Studios' inventories for your Maltese production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Malta, this role draws on the island's extraordinarily rich history—Knights of Malta fortifications, baroque churches, British colonial heritage, and Mediterranean craft traditions—all within a compact geography. 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 Maltese props masters who have deep knowledge of Malta Film Studios' prop resources, Valletta's antique dealers, and specialist vendors across Malta and Gozo. Our network includes professionals experienced with the period epic productions Malta is famous for hosting, contemporary Mediterranean dramas, and international shoots attracted by Malta's generous cash rebate of up to 40%.
