7/9/2023 0 Comments Xfiles season 8 openin![]() I did not actually expect to be dazzled by the actors and the magic of Hollywood what I expected to find and what I found was a workplace of cameras and lights, scaffolding and makeup-the comfortable, familiar scent of backstage darkness, and the memory of high school theatre.īut Hollywood makes stars of its producers and directors as well as its actors, and I was somewhat startled to experience a moment of disorienting glamour that week when I met Chris Carter. This week was the culmination of a summer of fieldwork in Los Angeles focusing on the entertainment industry, and a year of research into the online X-Files fan community. In late August and early September of 2001, I conducted about a week’s worth of fieldwork at Ten Thirteen Productions, during which I interviewed producers, writers, and staff, and observed several meetings and one day of filming on the set of The X-Files. Ten Thirteen Productions, the production company that produces The X-Files, occupies several nondescript buildings that resemble prefabricated trailer homes built in a hurry. ![]() Although Fox Studios is not as large as some of the production lots in the Los Angeles area-it only boasts fifteen sound stages-it is still an expansive, sprawling space that houses an entire New York City street (often used in filming NYPD Blue), several high-rise office buildings, and numerous trailers that serve as production offices for the shows that are filmed on the lot. It is hidden from the view of the public by brick walls and chain link fences, behind which huge satellite dishes are planted in clusters of eyes peering up at the sky. Fox Studios is situated at the juncture of Pico Boulevard and the Avenue of the Stars in west Los Angeles.
