LOS ANGELES — Leather manufacturer Justin Sayne has been tapped to create "unique and distinctive props" for the forthcoming FX cable network drama "Kindred."
Sayne was referred for the gig by a colleague working with the production team, and was asked to submit images of his crocodile whips before the company identified themselves.
"They called me and wanted to see my work; I’ve never turned in a selection quite like that before," he shared. “After talking to them for an hour, I had an assignment for three pieces. After they got the crocodile whips and leather cat o’ nine tails and loved them so much, I immediately received requests for more.
"They were happy that they could get my custom-made pieces so easily, since I make everything domestically and they didn’t run into supply chain issues. I am sure I’ll be making many more pieces for them and am really proud of working with such an established production company.”
