The Origins of John Singleton's Snowfall Empire
John Singleton, a renowned director, initially dismissed television, comparing it to selling drugs:
Once you get in, there’s no getting out. However, he later changed his stance and started exploring the medium.
In 1997, Singleton signed a development and production deal with Warner Bros. TV, which led to a six-episode commitment for CRASH, a drama about the LAPD SWAT team. Although he couldn't pursue it due to his involvement with Shaft, he continued to dabble in television, developing shows with writers like Tyger Williams and selling a drama to Showtime in 2007.
Singleton's journey in television ultimately led to the creation of Snowfall, a significant show about Black Los Angeles.
