Props, Costumes, Makeup and Connections

Since I volunteer on a lot of micro-budget films, some of which are film races with limited time allowed for gathering all the "stuff" that is needed, this is my very unsophisticated way to let filmmakers and their art departments know that, besides the fact that I really need to have a garage sale, I have a great deal of out-of-the-ordinary items available for loan when I'm attached to the project. I've also acquired a hand-full of costume items, which are also listed. In the future, I may use a "store" format for this page, but for now, please contact me well in advance if you need me to bring any of these items to the set. Thanks!
