The magazine is edited by Theresa Corvino and Scott Buckwald. “As Property Masters, we work in a hands-on artistic field, bringing props to life in ways that elevate stories and make them more immersive,” Corvino and Buckwald said. “Prop Culture is an extension of that. It’s something you can hold, collect, and truly engage with, much like the props we create.”
