It’s always nice to put a face on things, so here I am. My name is Doug, and I currently live north of Toronto, Ontario. I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and have lived in Montreal, Edmonton & Guelph, Ontario, and I am a graduate of Sheridan College.

As a 16 year old high school student in Beaconsfield, QC, I became fascinated with film-making and produced three short films. The technology of the mid-1970’s was crude compared to today. The films were shot on Kodak Super 8mm color motion picture film with no sound. Sound was recorded in studio on reel-to-reel tape and was only added to the films when they were converted to digital media in 2007/2008, and later acted in a couple of local films. (If you need a good chuckle, check out my IMDB page here. )

As a lover of film, photography, vintage technology, and other old and interesting things, over the years I have amassed a collection of items from the past.

I have now started a prop rental service in the Greater Toronto area, catering to film production, and photographers that may be looking for props for their production or photo shoot so I can continue to contribute to an industry that I love.

My on-line catalog is just starting to be built, so if you need something, please don’t hesitate to contact me and ask if I have it!

Rentals are currently only offered in the Greater Toronto area – anywhere from Guelph in the west, to St. Catharines/Niagara in the south, to Orillia in the north and Durham in the east, but the bonus is that I offer free delivery and pickup in those areas!
