Justin Sayne Crafts Specialty Props for FX Series 'Kindred'

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—AVN Award-nominated manufacturer Justin Sayne Leathers was recently tapped to create unique and distinctive props for upcoming sci-fi series Kindred from Disney-owned cable network FX.Referred by a colleague working with the production team, company owner Sayne was asked to send images of his crocodile whips before the company identified itself as FX. “They called me and wanted to see my work and I’ve never turned in a selection quite like that before!” Sayne said. “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.”For production of the series, which is an adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's 1979 novel of the same title, Sayne reported, “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 such as Disney’s FX.”Justin Sayne Leathers, based in Arizona, has been in business since 2010.
