Props To History

PANEL #2 | FRIDAY 11:45AM | LIBRARY

Propmaster, Fabricator, Historian, and Archivist Michael Corrie is dedicated to preserving not only the history of props in film, but sharing his skills and talents with the public.

He is the Art Director at FonCo Studios and has worked on shows like Magnum PI, Babylon, Ted, Disney’s Saturdays, The Chi, as well as over 50 commercials, short films, and stage productions.

Now, with this special panel presentation, it’s BSFF’s turn to look at his awesome collection of movie magic and listen to the cool anecdotes behind them!

As independent film historian, he has amassed a following of over half a million people telling the stories of the artists and makers who came before him. In this work, he has been given unprecedented access to nearly 2000 screen-used props in private collections and production archives, notably including the original Arc of the Covenant and the Letter of Transit from 1942s Casablanca!

Michael has worked with industry standouts, including Earl Hayes Press, Tested, Alterian Studios, and Thingergy Inc., Warner Brothers Studios, Universal Studios, Sony Entertainment, Ghostcore and Make Magazine.
