Ever wondered who manages all the props you see in movies and tv shows? All the bowls, cups, pencils, car keys, phones, and on and on? Well, that's a Property Master or, for short, props master. Seasoned props master, viral content creator, and Texas-native Scott Reeder is here to tell us about his journey to a career in film/tv props. 

In this episode we cover:

  • Scott's upbringing, growing up in a small town in Texas + college journey
  • How Scott wiggled his way onto film sets while majoring in Anthropology
  • How Scott built a sustainable career, and how he continues to get jobs
  • How unions work (Scott is a member of IATSE)
  • Scott's reaction to the accidental fatal shooting on the set of RUST in 2021
  • How Scott balances family and work
