Spotlight: Raleigh to Manage New Manhattan Beach Studios

Independent film, TV and commercial studio Raleigh Studios signed a five-year agreement to manage the new Manhattan Beach Studios being built in the South Bay by a group led by Roy E. Disney’s Shamrock Holdings. The 14-stage lot, being built to satisfy the growing demand for sound stages, is anchored by 20th Century Fox and will be home to “Ally McBeal” and other shows. Raleigh, which operates in Hollywood across from Paramount Pictures, also will provide such things as lighting and technical support.
