We’re getting ready for shooting the drama parts of the film 18th-21st March and are urgently on the lookout for various props and costumes. Can you help!? We’d be very grateful for any loans and are able to offer various non cash thank yous. Do get in touch (hilary@optimisticproductions.co.uk) if you can with any of the below (anything called vintage/old needs to be plausible but not necessarily historically accurate for the era 1915-1925):
swords
Old fashioned painting easel, palette, paintbrushes and paints
Tools (scythes and pitchforks)
Vintage crutches and stretcher
Vintage chess board
Vintage pen and ink well
plain hessian sacks
Bust of Lenin and any Russian revolution artefacts/propaganda
vintage champagne flutes, drinks tray, bottles, anything to fit in a well to do drawing room
science jars, stands, test tubes and anything else to fit into a distillery’s laboratory in 1915.
Various replica guns – tommy gun, machine guns, colt gun
Iron frame bed
Suitcases
Big black boots
Riding boots and spurs
Military uniforms, hats and greatcoats
Long white dresses
slippers
flying goggles
white gloves (mens and womens)
Anything that fits with overall look (think Dr Zhivago, Reds, Russian Ark….
