The Backlot at Our Wilmington NC Studio: A Perfect Production Complement

EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, NC offers a 12-acre backlot with woods and open space to construct sets. The backlot pairs beautifully with ten large, column-free stages. Frantic horse race scenes, Revolutionary War battles and Navy Seals stalking terrorists have all been filmed on our Wilmington, NC backlot. (Click the image below to see video of this space.)

Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow” built an 18th century village…

The production shot numerous chase scenes in this flexible space. “Sleepy Hollow” created Revolutionary War camps, brought back the Lost Colony and built Boston Harbor to recreate the Boston Tea Party.

History Channel’s “Six” Transformed Our Backlot Into Nigeria

“Six” used tropical foliage interwoven with native growth to cover for the Nigerian jungle. They also created a tribal village, a school and a prisoner of war camp.

CBS’s “Under the Dome” Created Chester’s Mill

The sci-fi drama based on Stephen King’s novel built various sets on our backlot. Local crew created numerous walk and talk areas, including a hunting cabin and the crater where the mysterious egg landed in Chester’s Mill.
