This Week's Program

Allen Cheney

Allen Cheney and Ryan Smith have started a production company in Thomasville. Film Thomasville is the southwest Georgia film and video production services company offering a host of creative video and fil services from pre- to post production. They will bring to us insights from their careers in film making and their particular experiences in Thomasville.

They have just finished a feature-length film based on the book "Tiger Rising", which will start Dennis Quaid, Queen Latifah, Christian Converty, Madalen Mills, Sam Trammell and Katherine McPhee. The film was made in part on Greenwood Plantation just outside Thomasville.
