good place
This is a phenomenal concept that Eva Radke came up with! Who would have knows that nearly every single thing purchased for a shoot is thrown into dumpsters and carted off to landfills?! The prices are stellar. The selection is truly fascinating and the space is HUGE!
When people are in town and I need a quirky attraction to bring them to in my neighborhood, I go to the Film Biz Prop Shop. Need a Grecian statue or fake tombstone? They've got it! Looking for a Halloween costume? You may come out dressed as a giant slice of cake! Sure, the prices aren't always cheap, but simply browsing the esoteric collection here is a great way to while away some time.
You won't find this place easily.. it's sorta hidden on the side of a building next to a parking lot. Don't worry though, there will be signage to guide you along your way. You'll have to buzz in at the gate first though!
Unlike your conventional thrift store, this place rents out movie props for you to use. Anything you can imagine, these guys might have. You'll find all sorts of wigs, gadgets, props, decorations, and devices to fulfill your inner Spielberg.
Aside from all the cool movie stuff you can rent, they also sell a bunch of furniture and a lot things you wouldn't normally find. They have a lot of old electronics for sale that range from the 70′s through 90′s. I'm not sure if they even work at all, but it's still pretty cool -- use them to film your own movies!!!
The staff here are super friendly and would love to help in anyway they can. Be sure to stop by here! They even just give out office supplies (for some reason) based on a "whatever you can pay" transaction method.
Definitely off the beaten track. It's almost like you need a secret password to get in. Ring the bell and find your way through the building maze to Film Biz Recycling and Prop shop. This is where you go if you have a theater production, movie, or a set to design. It would also be great for staging an apartment.
Walking through it is like a trip down memory lane. If you ever miss your giant 90's cell phone, they have a few of those in a box here. They allow pictures taken here. Lots of photo ops.
Spend some time going through film and TV props at their amazing new space! Owner Eva Radke will be happy to tell you where everything came from and make you a deal.
Who doesn't love thrifting? Especially when you are surrounded by old world hats, upcycled furniture, and a collection of giant replica fruits. Welcome to Film Biz - where kooky film and theatre props go to avoid the dump. Film Biz takes in donations that are headed to landfills and rents or resells them at more affordable prices than they should be! Little Mermaid, eat your heart out.
For more whosits and whatsits than you know what to do with, it's absolutely worth the trip! Visit often! Item turnover is frequent.
