The Savannah Economic Development Authority announced today it has retained veteran moviemaker Ralph Singleton to market and sell the Savannah region as a location for film, television and other productions.
An award-winning producer of film and television, Singleton has worked on more than 40 motion pictures and two television series. His film credits include: Because of Winn-Dixie, Murder at 1600, Supernova, Last Man Standing and Another 48 Hours.
He also worked on the television series Cagney and Lacey, for which he won an Emmy Award, Emmy Nomination, Humanitas Award and the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award.
“Ralph Singleton has many years of experience as a producer, studio head and director in the film industry,” said Trip Tollison, SEDA president and CEO. “His in-depth knowledge and high-level connections will be vital to help bring productions to the Savannah region.”
Singleton will work closely with the Savannah Film Office, which will manage productions once they choose Savannah. He will divide his time between Los Angeles, Atlanta and Savannah.
Singleton will begin in January 2015.
