“I have been visiting Savannah for the last 25 years as a guest and have always wondered when I’d get a chance to take advantage of this spectacular historic place. When Barry Jenkins asked me to design UGRR I knew the opportunity had arrived. Shooting this epic story in Savannah was a dream, from the swampy Richmond Hill countryside, to the historic downtown streets to the phenomenal Savannah Railway museum, we were able to create a dynamic 1850’s America and establish the look of this incredible series.”
– Mark Friedberg, Production Designer “The Underground Railroad”
