Legendary Prop Maker

Russell Bobbitt has been involved in prop making with some of the biggest franchises in film including Marvel and Star Trek! We had the chance to sit down with Russell recently to discuss his creative process, what makes him so passionate about creating things, and we learned a lot about behind the scenes of some of our favorite movies. You'll feel like a major insider as you listen to our conversation this week!
