ACTION VEHICLE COORDINATOR
With over 13 years of experience as an Action Vehicle Coordinator, I have sourced and managed vehicles for a wide range of projects, including international and local commercials, docudramas, movies, and Series. I have solid experience in coordinating “Mystery” (unreleased models) car logistics for commercials from Dacia to Aston Martin. Vintage vehicles hold a very special place in my heart and they, of course, come with special needs on set. I’ve worked alongside stunt teams when planning stunts, directors, when choreographing traffic jams and car wrecks; production teams with planning and when a quick fix is required.
ACTION VEHICLES COORDINATOR
As an Action Vehicle Coordinator in the film industry, I bring precision, creativity, and fearless leadership to every set I step onto. With a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics and cinematic storytelling, I specialize in orchestrating high-impact scenes where cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles become characters in their own right. My journey has taken me from vehicle sourcing and good client relationships to blockbuster productions, where I’ve worked alongside stunt teams, directors, and production crews to choreograph vehicle sequences that are as safe as they are spectacular. Whether it’s a high-speed chase through city streets or a convoy rolling through rugged terrain, I ensure every movement is timed to perfection and every vehicle is ready for action. In a space where women are still carving out their place, I’ve built a reputation for excellence, resilience, and collaboration. I thrive under pressure, adapt quickly, and bring a unique perspective to the art of vehicular storytelling—proving that grit and grace can coexist behind the wheel. With deep respect for all crew.

Propeller Period Props is the legacy of one man ~ Abraham Theron, known to everyone in the industry simply as Braam. What began as a personal passion for collecting, restoring, and cherishing timeless items soon caught the eye of the film world. Long before South Africa became the international production hub it is today, filmmakers were knocking on Braam’s door to borrow pieces that no one else could provide.
As his modest home began overflowing, it became clear that what started as a hobby had transformed into something much bigger ~ a business too vast for one person to manage alone. Braam turned to one of his clients, set decorator Zaan de Villiers, inviting her to partner with him. She left her career in set decoration to co-create what would become Propeller Period Props.
From those humble beginnings, Propeller has grown into a cornerstone of the film, television, events, and entertainment industries ~ offering an ever-expanding world of unique, magical pieces. Braam still delights in sourcing and collecting treasures, while the Propeller team keeps this remarkable ship afloat, ensuring the magic continues for productions of every scale.
