We at Locked in the Cellar Creations have a passion to make quality effects accessible for anyone. As experienced artists, we have a knack for finding the balance between your dreams and your budget. We can give you that extra production value if you have the budget to go all out, and we also know how to cheat shots and still make it look good if you don’t.

Our small team allows us to communicate effectively, and so that we can always deliver what we promise. In most cases Desirée will be your main contact, as she’s the one who keeps The Cellar organized and running smoothly. Depending on the nature of your project, either Brian or Desirée will be in charge creatively, with assistance from the other team members as needed.

History

Brian has been making props & prosthetics for independent films since 1999. In 2014 we decided to turn this hobby into a real business, so we registered and made a business plan. We expanded our services and started offering our hand crafted prosthetics and props to the general public, through our Etsy shop and at various shows and conventions. Customer response exceeds our expectations: everybody loved the quality, the detail and the super thin edges, compared to mass produced prosthetics.

Two years later we were invited to bring a horror themed photo op to Fan Expo. We built a 10×10 Haunted Cemetery, which turned out to be the first of a whole collection of photo ops we’re currently offering.

In the meantime, we of course continued our work on indie film productions, honing and expanding our creative skills every year with courses and a whole lot of practice.

In 2023 our team expanded with apprentice Ronnie, who now works part-time in our workshop after graduating with distinction at CMU college in Toronto.
