Films Are Produced Here

Known as “Hollywood East,” Wilmington’s EUE/Screen Gems Studios is the largest full-service motion picture facility in the U.S. east of California. Headed for many years by Frank Capra, Jr., who passed away in early 2008, the studio has been home to about 350 film, television and commercial productions.

The award-winning television show, Dawson’s Creek, was produced here for six years and featured locales in and around Wilmington. One Tree Hill, a current CW hit, is being produced here, and you’ll often see its film crews on location in the Wilmington area. Studio tours are available.
