NY Times Reports on Demise of 20th Century Props
In another sign of the significant changes that are occuring in the motion picture industry, the NY Times is reporting that 20th Century Props is closing.
Mr. Schwartz, the owner of 20th Century Props, plans to go out of business next month and auction the inventory. Battered by the surge in out-of-state movie production and the demise of scripted programming on network television, the once-thriving business — one of a handful of its type remaining — is failing.
“I ran out of money three months ago, and I don’t know what else to do,” he said softly. “It’s terrifying. I’ve devoted my entire life to something that is over.”
